Important Considerations
■
RIP allows the exchange of routing information on a NetWare
network. IPX routers use RIP to create and maintain their dynamic
routing tables.
■
The system has three RIP modes:
■
Off — The system processes no incoming RIP packets and
generates no RIP packets of its own.
■
Passive — The system processes all incoming RIP packets and
responds to RIP requests, but it does not broadcast periodic or
triggered RIP updates.
■
Active — The system processes all incoming RIP packets, responds
to explicit requests for routing information, and broadcasts
periodic and triggered RIP updates.
