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 more information about RIP on the Cisco IOS XR software and complete descriptions of the RIP commands
listed in this module, see the

You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command
reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is
preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
