WHITE PAPER - Gain insight into how Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2) works and how you can best implement it. Though over the years IP-based networks have evolved and the need for RIP has declined, it's still used in small networks and in specific areas of larger networks. Review 10 simple rules that can help you deal with RIPv2 issues.
