Dynamic Routing with RIP
This chapter describes WeOS support for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP.)
WeOS supports dynamic routing via RIP version 1 (RIPv1) and version 2 (RIPv2).
RIP is relatively simple to setup, but does not handle topology changes as rapidly
as the OSPF dynamic routing protocol (support for OSPF is described in
). Therefore, OSPF is generally preferred over RIP when it is possible to
select dynamic routing protocol.

28.1.1
Introduction to RIP
RIP is an example of a distance vector routing protocol, and historically it has
been one of the most widely used intra-domain unicast routing protocol within
the Internet.
RIP is quite simple to configure; commonly you only have to enable RIP and
define which interfaces to run RIP on. The router will automatically discover its
neighbours and start to exchange routing information.
To enable RIP on all interfaces on R1 in
, configuration shown below would
suffice.
