Just to remind you, RIP is a dynamic routing protocol that enables routers to exchange routing information. RIP is IETF's oldest distance vector protocol. In every 30 seconds, RIP exchanges routing information with the other routers in a network topology based on distance (hop count) and direction (next-hop). Further, RIP is considered an IGP, because it transmits the routing information with AS. Predominantly, it is used in small to medium-sized networks. It comes in two versions, such as RIPv1, defined by IETF's RFC 1058, and as RIPv2, defined by IETF's RFC 1723. Nowadays, it is rarely used, thus it can be said that it has been replaced by OSPF; however, because of its uncomplicated routing nature, it is used a lot in education to understand basic network routing. That said, this section describes how to configure...
