Layer 3 Routing Commands 1776Routing Information ProtocolCommandsDell EMC Networking N1500/N2000/N2100-ON/N3000/N3100-ON/N4000 Series SwitchesThe Routing Information Protocol (RIP) has been a long-standing protocolused by routers for exchanging route information. RIP is a distance vectorprotocol whereby each route is characterized by the number of gateways, orhops, a packet must traverse to reach its intended destination. Categorized asan interior gateway protocol, RIP operates within the scope of an autonomoussystem. RIP is a simple protocol. Its usefulness is limited to moderately sizednetworks whose physical interconnections are of similar type and speed.Dell EMC Networking routing supports RIPv2 as specified in RFC 2453.Commands in this SectionThis section explains the following commands:auto-summaryUse the auto-summary command in Router RIP Configuration mode toenable the RIP auto-summarization mode.
