Chapter 35 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring RIP
To turn off the RIP routing process, use the
no router rip
global configuration command.
To display the parameters and current state of the active routing protocol process, use the
show ip
protocols
privileged EXEC command. Use the
show ip rip database
privileged EXEC command to
display summary address entries in the RIP database.
Configuring RIP Authentication
RIP Version 1 does not support authentication. If you are sending and receiving RIP Version 2 packets,
you can enable RIP authentication on an interface. The key chain specifies \the set of keys that can be
used on the interface. If a key chain is not configured, no authentication is performed, not even the
default. Therefore, you must also perform the tasks in the
“Managing Authentication Keys” section on
page 35-88
.
The switch supports two modes of authentication on interfaces for which RIP authentication is enabled:
plain text and MD5. The default is plain text.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure RIP authentication on an interface:
Step 8
version
{
1 | 2
}
(Optional) Configure the switch to receive and send only RIP Version 1
or RIP Version 2 packets. By default, the switch receives Version 1 and 2
but sends only Version 1.
You can also use the interface commands
ip rip
{
send
|
receive
}
version
1
|
2
|
1 2
} to control what versions are used for sending and receiving on
interfaces.
Step 9
no auto summary
(Optional) Disable automatic summarization. By default, the switch
summarizes subprefixes when crossing classful network boundaries.
Disable summarization (RIP Version 2 only) to advertise subnet and host
routing information to classful network boundaries.
Step 10
no validate-update-source
(Optional) Disable validation of the source IP address of incoming RIP
routing updates. By default, the switch validates the source IP address of
incoming RIP routing updates and discards the update if the source
address is not valid. Under normal circumstances, disabling this feature
is not recommended. However, if you have a router that is off-network
and you want to receive its updates, you can use this command.
Step 11
output-delay
delay
(Optional) Add interpacket delay for RIP updates sent.
By default, packets in a multiple-packet RIP update have no delay added
between packets. If you are sending packets to a lower-speed device, you
can add an interpacket delay in the range of 8 to 50 milliseconds.
Step 12
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 13
show ip protocols
Verify your entries.
Step 14
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
