rip Commands
The Routing Information Protocol, Version 1 and Version 2, (RIPv1 and RIPv2) is the most
commonly used interior gateway protocol. RIP selects the route with the lowest metric as
the best route. The metric is a hop count representing the number of gateways through
which data must pass in order to reach its destination. The longest path that RIP accepts is
15 hops. If the metric is greater than 15, a destination is considered unreachable and the
SSR discards the route. RIP assumes that the best route is the one that uses the fewest
gateways, that is, the shortest path. RIPv1 is described in RFC 1058 and RIPv2 is described
in RFC 1723.
