3.10.5 RIP
3.10.5.1 Introduction to RIP
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector routing protocol, which employs the hop count as a
routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the
source to a destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15. This hop limit, however, also limits
the size of networks that RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance and used to deprecate
inaccessible, inoperable, or otherwise undesirable routes in the selection process.
3.10.5.2 Configure RIP
