CHAPTER 8
Implementing RIP
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a classic distance vector Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) designed
to exchange information within an autonomous system (AS) of a small network.
This module describes the concepts and tasks to implement basic RIP routing. Cisco IOS XR software
supports a standard implementation of RIP Version 2 (RIPv2) that supports backward compatibility with
RIP Version 1 (RIPv1) as specified by RFC 2453.
For RIP configuration information related to the following features, see the Related Documents, on page
462 section of this module.
•
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (VPN)
•
Site of Origin (SoO) Support
For more information about RIP on the Cisco IOS XR software and complete descriptions of the RIP
commands listed in this module, see the Related Documents, on page 462 section of this module. To locate
documentation for other commands that might appear while performing a configuration task, search online
in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Commands Master List.
