Configuring basic RIP
Before you configure basic RIP settings, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure the link layer protocol.
•
Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring routers.
Enabling RIP
To enable multiple RIP processes on a router, you must specify an ID for each process. A RIP process ID
has only local significance. Two RIP routers having different process IDs can also exchange RIP packets.
If you configure RIP settings in interface view before enabling RIP, the settings do not take effect until RIP
is enabled. If a physical interface is attached to multiple networks, you cannot advertise these networks
in different RIP processes. You cannot enable multiple RIP processes on a physical interface.
