This RowStatus object governs the lifecycle of a row in the RIP interface configuration table, where setting it to createAndGo activates RIP on the associated Virtual Interface and setting it to destroy removes RIP from that interface. An administrator uses it as the actual on/off switch for running RIP on a given virtual interface, distinct from the individual feature toggles like split horizon or poison reverse. For instance, a technician sets csRipIfConfRowStatus to destroy on a virtual interface being decommissioned so RIP stops advertising routes for it immediately.
