RIP configuration task list 244
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 23 • RIP configuration
RIP 2 is more useful in a variety of environments and allows the use of variable subnet masks on your network.
It is also necessary for implementation of classless addressing as accomplished with CIDR (classless inter-
domain routing).
It is recommended that RIP 2 be used on any segment where all routers can use the same IP routing protocol.
If one or more routers on a segment must use RIP 1, then all other routers on that segment should also be set
to use RIP 1.
RIP configuration task list
To configure RIP, perform the tasks described in the following sections. The tasks in the first two sections are
required; the tasks in the remaining sections are optional. Most of the RIP commands have the character of a
flag, which is either enabled or disabled.
• Enabling send RIP
• Enabling an interface to receive RIP (see page 245)
• Specifying the send RIP version (see page 245)
• Specifying the receive RIP version (see page 246)
• Enabling RIP learning (see page 246)
• Enabling an interface to receive RIP (see page 247)
• Enabling RIP announcing (see page 247)
• Enabling RIP auto summarization (see page 248)
• Specifying the default route metric (see page 248)
• Enabling RIP split-horizon processing (see page 249)
• Enabling the poison reverse algorithm (see page 249)
• Enabling holding down aged routes (see page 250)
• Displaying RIP Configuration of an IP interface (see page 251)
• Displaying global RIP information (see page 251)
Enabling send RIP
By default an interface does not send any routing information. This procedure describes how to enable sending
RIP packets on interface
Mode: Interface
Step Command Purpose
1 node(if-ip)[name]#rip supply Enables send RIP on interface name
