Setup guide

To start the RIP protocol, you have to define the networks on which RIP will run.
Property Description
address (IP address/mask; default: 0.0.0.0/0) - specifies the network on which RIP will run. Only
directly connected networks of the router may be specified
netmask (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) - specifies the network part of the address (if it is not
specified in the address argument)
Notes
For point-to-point links you should specify the remote endpoint IP address as the network IP
address. For this case the correct netmask will be /32.
Example
To enable RIP protocol on 10.10.1.0/24 network:
[admin@Wandy] routing rip network> add address=10.10.1.0/24
[admin@Wandy] routing rip network> print
# ADDRESS
0 10.10.1.0/24
[admin@Wandy] routing rip>
Neighbors
Description
This submenu is used to define a neighboring routers to exchange routing information with.
Normally there is no need to add the neighbors, if multicasting is working properly within the
network. If there are problems with exchanging routing information, neighbor routers can be added
to the list. It will force the router to exchange the routing information with the neighbor using
regular unicast packets.
Property Description
address (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) - IP address of neighboring router
Example
To force RIP protocol to exchange routing information with the 10.0.0.1 router:
[admin@Wandy] routing rip> neighbor add address=10.0.0.1
[admin@Wandy] routing rip> neighbor print
Flags: I - inactive
# ADDRESS
0 10.0.0.1
[admin@Wandy] routing rip>
