10.8.4 Application Example for RIP
 Network Requirements
 IP addresses of Switch A's three interfaces are 1.1.1.1/24, 2.1.1.1/24, 3.1.1.1/24 respectively.
IP addresses of Switch B's three interfaces are 1.1.1.2/24, 10.1.1.1/24, 11.1.1.1/24
respectively.
 RIP is required to be enabled in all interfaces of Switch A and B. Network shall be
interconnected between Switch A and B with the use of RIPv2.
 Network Diagram
 Configuration Procedure
 Configure Switch A
Steps Operation Note
1 Enable RIP Required. On page Routing→ RIP→ Basic Config
, enable RIP,
select RIPv2 as RIP version.
2 Enable the network
segments where
the interfaces are
located
Required. On page Routing→ RIP→ Basic Config Network
Enable part, add network segments 1.1.1.0, 2.1.1.0, 3.1.1.0, and
enable RIP in
these network segments. These network segments
will be displayed in RIP Network List after they are successfully
added.
