Routing Considerations

The RIP routing protocol runs on Solaris TCP/IP networks by default. In most cases, you should leave RIP running on point-to-point links. However, if you are having performance problems with the link, you might want to disable RIP on the point-to-point link.


Note -

RIP is not started on multipoint links. Therefore, you must set up static routing for the multipoint link. Refer to "Routing Protocols" for instructions.


For instructions on how to disable RIP, see "How to Turn Off RIP" .
