RIP
Note: RIP is a licensed feature and is available only on switches that have
an active license installed.
RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) based on the Bellman-Ford algorithm and targeted
at smaller networks (network diameter no greater than 15 hops). The routing information is
propagated in RIP update packets that are sent out both periodically and in the event of a
network topology change. On receipt of a RIP update, depending on whether the specified
route exists or does not exist in the route table, the router may modify, delete, or add the
route to its route table.
