RIP is a type of distance-vector routing protocol, which leverages hop count as a metric for routing. RIP puts a limit on the number of
hops (maximum of 15) allowed in order to prevent routing loops. This can sometimes limit the size of networks where RIP can be suc-
cessfully employed.
On this page, you can configure the RIP settings.
