Enabling RIP on a Port
IPX RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a widely implemented routing protocol that is used
extensively on IPX intermediations. IPX Routing Services uses the RIP to send and gather
information about the internetwork topology. This information is used to construct and maintain a
database, called the RIP Route Table, containing the addresses and available routes to all the
networks and hosts that RIP has learned.
extensively on IPX intermediations. IPX Routing Services uses the RIP to send and gather
information about the internetwork topology. This information is used to construct and maintain a
database, called the RIP Route Table, containing the addresses and available routes to all the
networks and hosts that RIP has learned.
Enabling RIP allows IPX Routing Services to build and maintain a dynamic database of route
information. The best routes learned by RIP are added to the IPX Forwarding Table to be used to
forward IPX packets. The ability to switch RIP on and off on a port-by-port basis provides great
flexibility. On the same device, some router ports can be running RIP while other router ports are
not. If necessary, you can temporarily disable RIP on any port without affecting the rest of your
configuration.
