Enabling RIP and
Entering RIP View
Perform the following configurations in system view.
By default, RIP is not enabled.
Enabling RIP on the
Specified Network
Segment
To flexibly control RIP operation, you can enable RIP on the specified network
segment so that the corresponding ports can receive and send RIP packets.
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.
Note that after the RIP task is enabled, you should also specify its operating
network segment, for RIP only operates on the interface on the specified network
segment. For an interface that is not on the specified network segment, RIP does
not receive or send routes on it, nor forwards its interface route, as if this interface
does not exist at all.
network - address is the address of the enabled or disabled
network, and it can also be configured as the IP network address of respective
interfaces.
