We have an existing 3750 enhanced image router in one building; it is conneted to serveral 3750 edge switches. We are adding a 3560 enhanced router in another building; it is connect to one 2960 edge switch. There will be 1 fibre connection between the two buildings to connect the two networks.
Can I just enable RIPv2 on each router and connect the fibre to a numbered port on each router? Or is there some advanced configuration that needs to be setup? PIM-DM is also enabled on each router. This is for a LAN with no internet connection.

I would say that static routing in this case seems to outperform rip.
It sound like a pretty small network (few routes) and it does not sound like you will change the routes very often.
so i would use static routing instead of any routing proocoll such as fx rip.
Any routing protocol need to do updates and communicate with the other units, this could break, but static routing is something that you easily setup and it is basically foolproof.
Good luck

Hi,
My vote goes to static routing as well. You don't have to mess with dynamic routing protocols for a network like the one you describe.
Best regards,
