• In simple networks where only IP forwarding is required, you may not want to use RIP. If you are not 

using RIP, it is best not to load it to save switch resources.

• To remove RIP from switch memory, you must manually edit the boot.cfg file. The boot.cfg file is an 

ASCII text-based file that controls many of the switch parameters. Open the file and delete all refer-
ences to RIP. You must reboot the switch when this is complete.

• Use the 

 command to enable RIP on the switch.
