and individual VLAN interface basis.
Enabling RIP
RIP is disabled by default. To enable it, use one of the following methods.
When you enable RIP, the default RIP version is RIPv2-only. You can change
the RIP version on an individual interface basis to RIPv1 or
RIPv1-compatible-v2 if needed.
To enable RIP on a routing switch, enter the following commands:
HPswitch(config)# ip routing
HPswitch(config)# router rip
HPswitch(config-rip-router)# exit
HPswitch(config)# write memory
Syntax: [no] router rip
Not e IP routing must be enabled prior to enabling RIP. The first command in the
sequence above enables IP routing on the Series 5300XL Switch.
