Setting the RIP Mode You can select an RIP mode that is appropriate for each interface. RIP can
operate in any of three modes:
■
off — The station does not process any incoming RIP packets and
does not generate any RIP packets of its own.
■
passive — The station processes all incoming RIP packets and
responds to explicit requests for routing information, but it does not
broadcast periodic or triggered RIP updates.
■
active — The station processes all incoming RIP packets, responds to
explicit requests for routing information, and broadcasts periodic and
triggered RIP updates.
Default
The default RIP mode is passive .
To set the RIP mode:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip rip mode
2 Enter the RIP mode (
off
,
passive
, or
active
).
3 To accept the existing value in brackets, press Return at the prompt.
Example:
Select interfaces (1-2|all):2
Enter RIP mode (off,passive,active): active
Setting the RIP
Interface Cost
The system uses the RIP interface cost (a number between 1 and 15) to
calculate route metrics. Unless your network has special requirements,
assign a cost of
1 to all interfaces.
To set the RIP interface cost:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip rip cost
2 Enter the cost value.
Example:
Select interface(s) (1-2|all): 2
Enter RIP cost [1]:
