Configuring RIP
RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) based on the Bellman-Ford algorithm and targeted at smaller
networks (network diameter no greater than 15 hops). The routing information is propagated in RIP update
packets that are sent out both periodically and in the event of a network topology change. On receipt of a RIP
update, depending on whether the specified route exists or does not exist in the route table, the router may
modify, delete, or add the route to its route table.
RIP Configuration
Use the RIP Configuration page to enable and configure or disable RIP in Global mode.

Field Description
RIP Admin Mode Select Enable or Disable from the dropdown menu. If you select Enable, RIP is
enabled for the switch. The default is Disable.
Split Horizon Mode Select None, Simple, or Poison Reverse from the dropdown menu. The default
is Simple. Split horizon is a technique for avoiding problems caused by
including routes in updates sent to the router from which the route was
originally learned. The options are:
• None: No special processing for this case.
• Simple: A route is not included in updates sent to the router from which it
was learned.
• Poison Reverse: A route is included in updates sent to the router from
which it was learned, but the metric is set to infinity.
