The rip statement enables or disables RIP. If the rip statement is not speciﬁed, the default is rip on

;. If enabled, RIP will assume nobroadcast when there is only one interface and broadcast when

there is more than one.

The options are as follows:

broadcast

Speciﬁes that RIP packets will be broadcast regardless of the number of interfaces present.

This is useful when propagating static routes or routes learned from anther protocol into RIP.

In some cases, the use of broadcast when only one network interface is present can cause

data packets to traverse a single network twice.

nobroadcast

Speciﬁes that RIP packets will not be broadcast on attached interfaces, even if there are more

than one. If a sourcegateways clause is present, routes will still be unicast directly to that

gateway.

nocheckzero

Speciﬁes that RIP should not make sure that reserved ﬁelds in incoming version 1 RIP packets

are zero. Normally RIP will reject packets where the reserved ﬁelds are zero.

preference preference

Sets the preference for routes learned from RIP. The default preference is 100. This preference

may be overridden by a preference speciﬁed in import policy.

defaultmetric metric

Deﬁnes the metric used when advertising routes via RIP that were learned from other proto-

cols. If not speciﬁed, the default value is 16 (unreachable). This choice of values requires you to

explicitly specify a metric in order to export routes from other protocols into RIP. This metric

may be overridden by a metric speciﬁed in export policy.

query authentication [none |[[simple|md5] password]] ;

Speciﬁes the authentication required of query packets that do not originate from routers. The

default is none.

interface interface_list

Controls various attributes of sending RIP on speciﬁc interfaces. See the section on interface

list speciﬁcation for the description of the interface_list.

Note that if there are multiple interfaces conﬁgured on the same subnet, RIP updates will only

be sent from ﬁrst one one which RIP output is conﬁgured. This limitation is required because

of the way the Unix kernel operates. It will hopefully be removed in a future release.

The possible parameters are:

noripin

Speciﬁes that RIP packets received via the speciﬁed interface will be ignored. The default

is to listen to RIP packets on all non-loopback interfaces.

ripin

This is the default. This argument may be necessary when noripin is used on a wild-

card interface descriptor.

noripout

Speciﬁes that no RIP packets will be sent on the speciﬁed interfaces. The default is to

send RIP on all broadcast and non-broadcast interfaces when in broadcast mode. The

sending of RIP on point-to-point interfaces must be manually conﬁgured.
