Chapter 4 RIP Configuration Guide
RIP Overview
This chapter describes how to configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP) in the
SmartSwitch Router. RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol for use in small
networks. RIP is described in RFC 1723. A router running RIP broadcasts updates at
set intervals. Each update contains paired values where each pair consists of an IP
network address and an integer distance to that network. RIP uses a hop count metric
to measure the distance to a destination.
The SmartSwitch Router provides support for RIP Version 1 and 2. The SSR
implements plain text and MD5 authentication methods for RIP Version 2.
The protocol independent features that apply to RIP are described in the section “IP
Routing Configuration Guide” on page 3 - 1.
Configure RIP
By default, RIP is disabled on the SSR and on each of the attached interfaces. To
configure RIP on the SSR, follow these steps:
1. Start the RIP process by using the rip start command.
2. Use the rip add interface command to inform RIP about the attached interfaces.
Enabling and Disabling RIP
To enable or disable RIP, enter one of the following commands in Configure mode.
Configuring RIP Interfaces
To configure RIP in the SSR, you must first add interfaces to inform RIP about
attached interfaces.
Enable RIP.
rip start
Disable RIP.
rip stop
