2.2 Configuring RIP Basic Functions
2.2.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring RIP basic functions, configure an IP address on each interface, and
make sure all adjacent routers are reachable to each other.
2.2.2 Configuration Procedure
I. Enabling RIP and a RIP interface
Follow these steps to enable RIP:
To do…
Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view
system-view
––
Enable a RIP process and
enter RIP view
rip
[
process-id
]
[
vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
]
Required
Not enabled by default
Enable RIP on the
interface attached to the
specified network
network network-address
Required
Disabled by default
Note:
z
If you make some RIP configurations in interface view before enabling RIP, those
configurations will take effect after RIP is enabled.
z
RIP runs only on the interfaces residing on the specified networks. Therefore, you
need to specify the network after enabling RIP to validate RIP on a specific
interface.
z
You can enable RIP on all interfaces using the command
network
0.0.0.0.
II. Configuring the interface behavior
Follow these steps to configure the interface behavior:
To do…
Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view
system-view
––
Enter RIP view
rip
[
process-id
]
[
vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
]
––
Disable an or all interfaces
from sending routing
updates (the interfaces can
still receive updates)
silent-interface
{
all
|
interface-type
interface-number
}
Optional
All interfaces can send
routing updates by
default.
