Routing Information Protocol (RIP) overview

In a routed environment, routers communicate with one another to keep track of available routes. Routers can learn about available routes dynamically using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). The Passport 8600 Switch software implements standard RIP for exchanging TCP/IP route information with other routers. For more information about the RIP protocol, see Networking Concepts for the Passport 8000 Series Switch.
