Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide
Implementing RIP on Cisco IOS XR Software
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a classic distance vector Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)
designed to exchange information within an autonomous system (AS) of a small network.
This module describes the concepts and tasks you need to implement basic RIP routing on your router.
Cisco IOS XR software supports a standard implementation of RIP Version 2 (RIPv2) that supports
backward compatibility with RIP Version 1 (RIPv1) as specified by RFC2453.
For RIP configuration information related to the following features, see the “Related Documents”
section of this module.
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (VPN)
• Site of Origin (SoO) Support
Note For more information about RIP on the Cisco IOS XR software and complete descriptions of the RIP
commands listed in this module, see the “Related Documents” section of this module. To locate
documentation for other commands that might appear while performing a configuration task, search
online in the Cisco IOS XR software master command index.
