Configuring basic RIP
Before you configure basic RIP settings, complete the following tasks:
• Configure the link layer protocol.
• Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring routers.
Enabling RIP
To enable multiple RIP processes on a router, you must specify an ID for each process. A RIP process ID
has only local significance. Two RIP routers having different process IDs can also exchange RIP packets.
