ROUBLESHOOTING
The Switch keeps aging out endstation entries in the Switch 
Forwarding Database (FDB): 
Reduce the number of topology changes by disabling STP on those 
Switches that do not use redundant paths.
Specify that the endstation entries are static or permanent.
Routing
The Switch sees RIP updates but other routers don’t:
Ensure that the RIP transmit and receive modes are appropriate for the 
environment. If other routers only use RIP Version 1, ensure the switch 
is transmitting V1 updates.
