Usage Guidelines
RIP has
a number of limitations that can cause problems in large networks,
including:
- A limit of 15 hops between
the source and destination networks.
- A large amount of bandwidth
taken up by periodic broadcasts of the entire routing table.
- Slow convergence.
- Routing decisions based on
hop count; no concept of link costs or delay.
- Flat networks; no concept of
areas or boundaries.
Example
The following command
disables RIP for the whole router:
# disable rip
