The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol that routes packets within a single autonomous system (AS). To use RIP, you must understand the basic components of a RIP network and configure the J-series Services Router to act as a node in the network.

Note: The J-series Services Router supports RIP version 1 (RIPv1) and RIP version 2 (RIPv2). Unless otherwise specified, the term RIP in this chapter refers to both versions of the protocol. |
J-series routers also support RIPng. For an overview, see RIPng Overview. For configuration instructions, see the JUNOS Routing Protocols Configuration Guide.
You can use either J-Web Quick Configuration or a configuration editor to configure a RIP network.
This chapter contains the following topics. For more information about RIP, see the JUNOS Routing Protocols Configuration Guide.
