Dell S6000-ON, Configuration Manual

Page: 743 / 1080

Implementation Information
Dell Networking OS supports both versions of RIP and allows you to configure one version globally and
the other version on interfaces or both versions on the interfaces.
The following table lists the defaults for RIP in Dell Networking OS.
Table 75. RIP Defaults
Feature Default
Interfaces running RIP • Listen to RIPv1 and RIPv2
• Transmit RIPv1
RIP timers
• update timer = 30 seconds
• invalid timer = 180 seconds
• holddown timer = 180 seconds
• flush timer = 240 seconds
Auto summarization Enabled
ECMP paths supported 16
Configuration Information
By default, RIP is disabled in Dell Networking OS.
To configure RIP, you must use commands in two modes: ROUTER RIP and INTERFACE. Commands
executed in the ROUTER RIP mode configure RIP globally, while commands executed in the INTERFACE
mode configure RIP features on that interface only.
RIP is best suited for small, homogeneous networks. You must configure all devices within the RIP
network to support RIP if they are to participate in the RIP.
