RIP does not have a lot of options available for weighting or giving priority to one route over the other. It determines a route based on the smallest hop count between source and destination. RIP is a distance vector protocol that routinely broadcasts routing information to its neighboring routers and is known to waste bandwidth. It is a basic level dynamic routing protocol.
Depending on what switch you have and whether OSPF is available, OSPF has features where you can use the default cost (weight/priority) provided by the protocol calculations of the cabling speed and distance or you can manually set a cost to a specific interface/Vlan to make it the priority.
OSPF CLI Command Description
ip ospf area Enables OSPFv2 and sets the area ID of an interface.
ip ospf authentication Sets the OSPF Authentication Type and Key for the specified interface.
ip ospf cost Configures the cost on an OSPF interface.
ip ospf dead-interval Sets the OSPF dead interval for the specified interface.
ip ospf hello-interval Sets the OSPF hello interval for the specified interface.
ip ospf network Configure OSPF to treat an interface as a point-to-point rather than broadcast interface.
ip ospf priority Sets the OSPF priority for the specified router interface.
ip ospf retransmit-interval Sets the OSPF retransmit Interval for the specified interface.
ip ospf transmit-delay Sets the OSPF Transit Delay for the specified interface.
network area Enables OSPFv2 on an interface and sets its area ID if the IP address of an interface is covered by this network command.
passive-interface Sets the interface or tunnel as passive.
show ip ospf interface Displays the information for the IFO object or virtual interface tables.
show ip ospf interface brief Displays brief information for the IFO object or virtual interface tables.

for example i have
vlan1 192.168.1.x
vlan2 10.10.0.x
vlan14 172.16.20.x
i want to make sure all traffic is sent out using vlan2 first if that is to fail then use vlan1.
