Is it true that on a network running RIP, we need to have RIP running on links between a router and a switch--meaning it needs to be configured on a router's ethernet/fastethernet interface?

RIP is OSI Layer3 and a switch is OSI Layer2. In other words, no, you don't "run" RIP between a router and a switch.

Why would you run an Routing Protocol on a switch?

It's from a CertSim simulation. Here's the proper config:
RouterA: e0: x.x.10.1 (e0 connected to SwitchA) s0: x.x.20.1 (s0 connected to RouterB's s0) config shows rip running on x.x.10.0 and x.x.20.0
RouterB: e0: x.x.30.1 (e0 connected to SwitchB) s0: x.x.20.2 (s0 connected RouterA's s0) config shows rip running on x.x.20.0 and x.x.30.0

Rip is running on the routers, not the switch. Notice that there is no switch configuration. RouterA is advertising x.x.10.0 and x.x.20.0; RouterB is advertising x.x.20.0 and x.x.30.0. They are talking to one another through their s0 interfaces which are on a common network (x.x.20.0).

Ah, I see. Putting the graphic and the config together got me confused. I understand now. Thank you!
