RIP Routing
IP routing requires IP router interfaces to be configured on VLANs and a routing protocol to be enabled
and configured on the switch. RIP also requires a RIP interface to be created and enabled on the routing
interface. In the illustration below, a router interface and RIP interface have been configured on each
VLAN. Therefore, workstations connected to ports on VLAN 1 on Switch 1 can communicate with VLAN
2; workstations connected to ports on VLAN 3 on Switch 2 can communicate with VLAN 2. Also, ports
from both switches have been assigned to VLAN 2, and a physical connection has been made between the
switches. Therefore, workstations connected to VLAN 1 on Switch 1 can communicate with workstations
connected to VLAN 3 on Switch 2.

RIP Routing
Loading RIP
command to load RIP.
To remove RIP from the 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 references
to RIP. You must reboot the switch when this is complete.

Note. 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.
