RIP Routing
Loading RIP
When the switch is initially configured, RIP must be loaded into switch memory. Use the ip load rip
command to load RIP.
To remove RIP from switch memory, you must manually edit the boot.cfg file. The boot.cfg file is an
ASCII text-based file that controls many of the switch parameters. Open the file and delete all references
to RIP. You must reboot the switch when this is complete.
Note. In simple networks where only IP forwarding is required, you may not want to use RIP. If you are
not using RIP, it is best not to load it to save switch resources.
Enabling RIP
RIP is disabled by default. Use the ip rip status command to enable RIP routing on the switch. For exam-
ple:
-> ip rip status enable
Use the ip rip status disable command to disable RIP routing on the switch. Use the show ip rip
command to display the current RIP status.
