Hi,

First of all, why you want to use rip ? You better be using eigrp ...

Create a routed link (fiber ports) between two switches, i believe you dont want to pass layer 2 traffic across both switches.

On Switch A

int gix/y

no switchport

ip address 10.100.x.y 255.255.255.252

On switch B

int gix/y

no switchport

ip address 10.100.x.z 255.255.255.252

On Switch A

router eigrp 100

network 10.100.0.0 0.0.255.255

network 10.100.x.y 0.0.0.0  

no auto-summary

insert this command only if you have assigned IP to routed port other that 10.100 network            

Write down the ip address not the network address e.g. if ip add is 10.2.3.1/30 use network "10.2.3.1 0.0.0.0"

On switch B

router eigrp 100

network 10.100.0.0 0.0.255.255

network a.b.c.e 0.0.0.0                Write down the ip address not the network address e.g. if ip add is 10.2.3.2/30 use network "10.2.3.1 0.0.0.0"

no auto-summary

Eigrp neighborship will come up

verify

using "sh ip eigrp neigh"

sh ip route
