Software Configuration Manual
7-89
7.3.1
Enable RIP
By default, RIP is disabled. Enable RIP mode in global configuration mode :
Enable RIP and enter RIP configuration mode
route rip
Disable RIP
no route rip
7.3.2
Specify IP network to run RIP protocol
By default, after RIP enabling, no interface runs RIP protocol, only when administrator specifies some IP
network to run RIP protocol, this interface will send and receive RIP packet. Configure it in RIP protocol
configuration mode :
Specify to run RIP protocol in IP network
network
ip-address
Cancel to run RIP protocol in IP network
no network
ip-address
7.3.3
RIP working status of specified interface
Specify RIP working status in interface configuration mode, such as : run RIP or not in interface, receive
and send RIP upgrade packet in interface or not; it can also specify sending (or receiving) RIP upgrade packet.
Configure it in interface configuration mode :
Enable interface to run RIP
ip rip work
Disable interface to run RIP
no ip rip work
After disabling interface running RIP, this interface will not send or receive RIP upgrade packet, but other
interface still can send and receive route of tjis interface.
Permit interface to receive RIP packet
ip rip input
Forbid interface to receive RIP packet
no ip rip input
Permit interface to send RIP packet
ip rip output
Forbid interface to send RIP packet
no ip rip output
7.3.4
RIP version of specified interface
RIP has RIP-1 and RIP-2 two versions which can specify RIP packet version handled by interface.
RIP-1 uses broadcast and RIP-2 supports broadcast and multicast and it is defaulted to use multicast.
Multicast address in RIP-2 is 224.0.0.9.
The advantage of using multicast is that in the same network interface, the host which is not running RIP can
avoid receiving RIP broadcast; using multicast can avoid host which runs RIP-1receiving and handling route with
subnet mask in RIP-2. When interface running rip-2, it can also receive RIP-1 packet.
Configure it in interface configuration mode :
Specify RIP working version of interface to be RIPV1
ip rip version 1
Specify RIP working version of interface to be RIPV2 multicast
ip rip version 2 mcast
