Configuring Dynamic Routing
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is
commonly used in internal networks. It allows the router to exchange its routing
information automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its
routing tables and adapt to changes in the network.
Dynamic Routing (RIP) enables the device to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network layout and exchange routing tables with the other routers.
The router determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of
hops between the source and the destination.
