This document provides an overview of configuring the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) in ExtremeXOS. It describes RIP as a distance-vector routing protocol and discusses RIP version 1 and 2. The document outlines the steps to configure RIP, including enabling it on VLANs and globally, and verifies the RIP configuration. It also covers RIP concepts like routing loops, split horizon, poison reverse, and triggered updates. Students will learn how to configure, verify, and test RIP in the accompanying lab guide.
