Objectives
Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to:
Describe the features and operation of RIP Use Cisco IOS commands to configure dynamic routing using RIP, given a functioning router Use show and debug commands to identify anomalies in dynamic routing operation using RIP, given an operational router

RIP Overview
Maximum is 6 paths (default = 4) Hop-count metric selects the path (Max=15) Routes update are broadcast every 30 seconds

RIP is capable of load balancing over as many as six equal-cost paths, with four paths being default. RIP performs what is referred to as round robin load balancing. Router(config-router)#maximum-paths [number]

To change the holddown timer:
Router(config-router)#timers basic update invalid
holddown flush [sleeptime]
To change the update internal:
Router(config-router)#update-timer seconds
Disable the sending of routing updates on specified interfaces:
Router(config-router)#passive-interface interface
To disable RIP

Summary
RIP is a distance vector routing protocol that uses hop count as the metric for route selection and broadcasts routing updates every 30 seconds. To enable a dynamic routing protocol, you will select the routing protocol and then assign IP network numbers.
The router rip command specifies RIP as the routing protocol. The network command identifies a participating attached network.
The show ip commands display information about routing protocols and the routing table. Use the debug ip rip command to display information on RIP routing transactions.
