NAME
       rip - routing information protocol

SYNOPSIS
       ip/rip [-2] [-b] [-d] [-n] [ -x mntpt ] [ net ...  ] &

DESCRIPTION
       Rip  implements	the Internet RIP routing protocol described by RFC1058
       and RFC2453.  It watches the network and makes appropriate  changes  to
       the  machine's  Internet routing table (see iproute in ip(3)), based on
       routing packets broadcast by gateways on the network.  Rip is only used
       when  a	single	default	 gateway  is  inadequate,  typically because a
       machine sits on a network directly connected to several others,	having
       no common gateway or router.  On networks where there is just one gate‐
       way, it is usually simpler and more efficient to configure that	stati‐
       cally using ndb(6) or dynamically using DHCP/BOOTP, rather than running
       rip.

       Rip serves the network on mntpt (default: /net).	 When it  starts,  rip
       learns  its  own	 interfaces  and directly attached networks by reading
       mntpt/ipifc, and notes any routes currently in mntpt/iproute.

       By default, rip neither broadcasts routes nor replies to	 requests  for
       its  route  table.   If the -b option is given, rip periodically broad‐
       casts changes to its routing table to each of its  interfaces.	If  at
       least  one explicit net address is given, the broadcasts are restricted
       to just the interfaces listed (and -b is implied).

       The -d option causes routed to record changes it makes to  the  routing
       tables.	 This  can  be	helpful when locating misleading announcements
       from rogue gateways.  A second -d  will	include	 detailed  information
       about  every  packet.   The -n option tells rip not to change the local
       routing table, but only say what changes it would have made.

       Rip understands both version1 and version 2 of the protocol, and inter‐
       prets  updates  from  gateways appropriately.  By default, it transmits
       updates using version 1; if the -2 option is given, it uses  version  2
       instead, which is preferable when the network has subnets.
