rip set broadcast-state
Purpose
Determines if RIP packets will be broadcast regardless of the number of interfaces
present. This is useful when propagating static routes or routes learned from another
protocol into RIP. In some cases, the use of broadcast when only one network interface
is present can cause data packets to traverse a single network twice.
