Configuring IP routing on an interface 713
Programming Operations Guide
Configuring IP routing on an interface
After you configured the IP Routing global settings, you must configure each available network
interface to use the routing protocol of your choice or static routes.
This section provides instructions on how to configure interfaces for IP routing and how to create
static routes. The available interfaces appear under the
IP Routing heading. Follow the same
instructions to configure all interfaces. For information on how to create static routes, see “Static
routes” on page 719 .
This section includes information about:
• “Configuring RIP parameters on a network interface” on page 713
• “Enabling the RIP Subnet summary” on page 715
• “Disabling the RIP Subnet summary” on page 716
• “Configuring OSPF parameters on a network interface” on page 716
• “OSPF NBMA Neighbors” on page 718
• “Static routes” on page 719
Configuring RIP parameters on a network interface
Follow these steps to configure RIP parameters on a network interface:
1 On the navigation tree, click the Services key and click the IP Routing key.
The available interfaces for IP routing are listed under the IP Routing heading.
2 Click the interface you want to configure.
The Summary window appears. The
Routing Protocol box shows the current routing
protocol.
3 In the Routing Protocol list, click RIP .
4 Press the Tab key.
The RIP Parameters tab appears.
5 Click the RIP Parameters tab.
The RIP Parameters window appears.
Note: You must use the same routing protocol on all interfaces. For example, you can not
configure your LAN1 interface to use RIP and your WAN1 interface to use OSPF.
Tips
If you are changing the routing protocol from OSPF to RIP, you must first set the Routing
Protocol under each available interface to None before you can select RIP .
Note: The RIP Parameters window does not appear unless you choose RIP as your
routing protocol.
