(IGPs). When RIP is enabled, the module dynamically configures its
routing tables.

Important Considerations
■
The first line in the output (the status line) indicates whether IP routing
is enabled. It also indicates whether Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) router discovery is enabled.
■
The four available RIP modes are:
■
Disabled — The module ignores all incoming RIP packets and does
not generate any RIP packets of its own.
■
Learn — The module processes all incoming RIP packets, but it
does not transmit RIP updates.
■
Advertise — The module broadcasts RIP updates, but it does not
process incoming RIP packets.
■
Enabled — The module broadcasts RIP updates and processes
incoming RIP packets.
■
An advertising router sends a RIP message every 30 seconds with both
the IP address and a
metric
(the distance to the destination from that
router) for each destination. Each router through which a RIP packet
travels to reach its destination equals one
hop .
