Chapter 31 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring RIP
Configuring Basic RIP Parameters
To configure RIP, you enable RIP routing for a network and optionally configure other parameters.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable and configure RIP:
IP split horizon
Varies with media.
Neighbor
None defined.
Network
None specified.
Offset list
Disabled.
Output delay
0 milliseconds.
Timers basic
•
Update: 30 seconds.
•
Invalid: 180 seconds.
•
Hold-down: 180 seconds.
•
Flush: 240 seconds.
Validate-update-source
Enabled.
Version
Receives RIP version 1 and 2 packets; sends version 1 packets.

Default Setting
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip routing
Enable IP routing (required only if IP routing is disabled).
Step 3
router rip
Enable a RIP routing process, and enter router configuration mode.
Step 4
network network number
Associate a network with a RIP routing process. You can specify multiple
network commands. RIP routing updates are sent and received through
interfaces only on these networks.
Step 5
neighbor ip-address
(Optional) Define a neighboring router with which to exchange routing
information. This step allows routing updates from RIP (normally a
broadcast protocol) to reach nonbroadcast networks.
Step 6
offset list [access-list number | name]
{in | out} offset [type number]
(Optional) Apply an offset list to routing metrics to increase incoming and
outgoing metrics to routes learned through RIP. You can limit the offset list
with an access list or an interface.
