To forward packets to a device on a different VLAN, you must create a router interface on each VLAN. 
To route packets by using RIP, you must enable RIP and create a RIP interface on the router interface. The 
following steps show you how to enable RIP routing between VLANs “from scratch”. If active VLANs 
and router ports have already been created on the switch, go to Step 7.

1 Create VLAN 1 with a description (e.g., VLAN 1) by using the 

 command. For example:

-> vlan 1 name “VLAN 1”

2 Create VLAN 2 with a description (e.g., VLAN 2) by using the vlan command. For example:

-> vlan 2 name “VLAN 2”

3 Assign an active port to VLAN 1 by using the 

 command. For example, the follow-

ing command assigns port 1 on slot 1 to VLAN 1:

-> vlan 1 port default 1/1

4 Assign an active port to VLAN 2 by using the vlan port default command. For example, the follow-
ing command assigns port 2 on slot 1 to VLAN 2:

-> vlan 2 port default 1/2

5 Configure an IP interface to enable IP routing on a VLAN by using the 

 command. For 

example:

-> ip interface vlan-1 address 171.10.1.1 vlan 1

6 Configure an IP interface to enable IP routing on a VLAN by using the ip interface command. For 
example:

-> ip interface vlan-2 address 171.11.1.1 vlan 2

7 Load RIP into the switch memory by using the 

 command. For example:

-> ip load rip

8 Enable RIP on the switch by using the 

 command. For example:

-> ip rip status enable

9 Create a RIP interface on VLAN 1 by using the 

 command. For example:

-> ip rip interface vlan-1

10 Enable the RIP interface by using the 

 command. For example:

-> ip rip interface vlan-1 status enable

11 Create an RIP interface on VLAN 2 by using the ip rip interface command. For example:

-> ip rip interface vlan-2
