Configuring RIP basic functions

Configuration prerequisites

Before configuring RIP basic functions, complete the following tasks:
Configure the link layer protocol
•
• Configure an IP address on each interface, and ensure all adjacent routers are reachable to each
other

Configuration procedure

Enabling RIP and a RIP interface
Follow these steps to enable RIP:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable a RIP process and enter RIP
view
Enable RIP on the interface
attached to the specified network
NOTE:
• If you make some RIP configurations in interface view before enabling RIP, then those configurations will
take effect after RIP is enabled.
RIP runs only on the interfaces residing on the specified networks. Specify the network after enabling RIP
•
to validate RIP on a specific interface.
You can enable RIP on all interfaces using the command network 0.0.0.0.
•
If a physical interface is attached to multiple networks, you cannot advertise these networks in different
•
RIP processes.
Configuring the interface behavior
Follow these steps to configure the interface behavior:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter RIP view
Disable an or all interfaces from
sending routing updates (the
interfaces can still receive updates)
Return to system view
Enter interface view
Use the command...
system-view
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
network network-address
Use the command...
system-view
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
silent-interface { interface-type
interface-number | all }
quit
interface interface-type
interface-number
25
