RIP configuration using Enterprise Device Manager

This chapter describes the procedure you can use to configure and manage the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series . RIP is a distance vector protocol used to dynamically discover network routes based on information passed between routers in the network. RIP is useful in network environments where using static route administration would be difficult.

Prerequisites

  • Enable IP routing globally.

  • Assign an IP address to the VLAN or brouter port that you want to enable with RIP.

    Routing is automatically enabled on the VLAN when you assign an IP address to it.
