Figure 36-1 RIP example
In the figure shown above, a network consists of three Layer 3 switches, in which SwitchA connected with
SwitchB and SwitchC, and RIP routing protocol is running in all of the three switches. SwitchA （interface
vlan1：10.1.1.1,interface vlan2：20.1.1.1）exchanges Layer 3 switch update messages only with SwitchB
（interface vlan1：10.1.1.2）, but not with SwitchC（interface vlan 2: 20.1.1.2）.
SwitchA, SwitchB, SwitchC configurations are as follows:
SWITCHA
SWITCHB
SWITCHC
Interface
vlan1:10.1.1.1/24
Interface
vlan1:10.1.1.2/24
Interface
vlan2:20.1.1.1/24
Interface
vlan1:20.1.1.2/24
