The RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a dynamic routing protocol used in local and wide area networks.
It’s a very simple protocol, based on distance-vector routing algorithms. As such it is classified as an IGP
(interior gateway protocol).
RIP function can be defined by the following parts.
1. Mode
To set disable RIP mode or enable it.
2. RIP Version
To support V1 (RFC 1058) and V2 (RFC 2453).
3. Port Mode and Passive Mode
It allow users to setup interfaces with their own modes and passive modes. On passive mode
interfaces, all receiving packets are processed as normal and rip does not send either multicast or
uni-cast RIP packets.
