Router RIP Command

To enable a dynamic routing protocol, enter the global configuration mode and use the router command. As shown in the figure, if you type a space followed by a question mark, a list of all the available routing protocols supported by the IOS displays.

To enter the router configuration mode for RIP, enter router rip at the global configuration prompt. Notice that the prompt changes from a global configuration prompt to the following:

R1(config-router)#

This command does not directly start the RIP process. Instead, it provides access to configure routing protocol settings. No routing updates are sent.

If you need to completely remove the RIP routing process from a device, negate the command with no router rip. This command stops the RIP process and erases all existing RIP configurations.
