CHAPTER 50 
RIP Commands
This chapter explains how to use commands to configure the Routing Information Protocol 
(RIP) on the Switch.
50.1  RIP Overview
RIP is a protocol used for exchanging routing information between routers on a network. 
Information is exchanged by routers periodically advertising a routing table. The Switch can 
be configured to receive and incorporate routing table information sent from other routers, to 
only send routing information to other routers,  both send and receive routing information, or 
to neither send nor receive routing information to or from other routers on the network. 
50.2  Command Summary
The following section lists the commands for this feature.
50.3  Command Examples
