Chapter 23: Setting Dynamic Routes Using RIP
264
Overview
To make remote networks communicate, you must add either static
routes, dynamic routes, or both. The AT-8100 Series Management
Software supports RIP as the routing protocol to add dynamic routes. By
enabling RIP, the switch can learn about remote networks and add the
routing information to its routing table dynamically. For information about
static routes, refer to Chapter 21, “Setting Static Routes” on page 243.
Enabling RIP
Here are guidelines for enabling RIP:
 A VLAN interface must have an IP address assigned before RIP is
enabled on the interface.
 To make a switch access remote networks, you must configure RIP on
a VLAN interface or network that is connected to another Layer 3
device and remote networks that you want the switch to access.
 Authentication is supported only in RIP Version 2.
Note
To display the routing table that includes both dynamic routes and
static routes, see “Displaying the Routing Table” on page 248.
