RIP

Dynamic routing using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is

common in LANs.With RIP this controller can exchange routing information with other supported routers/

controllers in the LAN and allow for dynamic adjustment of routing tables in order to adapt to modications in

theLANwithoutinterruptingtracow.
