Setup Guide

Assign IP addresses to interfaces that are part of the same subnet as the RIP network identied in the network command syntax.
Controlling RIP Routing Updates
By default, RIP broadcasts routing information out all enabled interfaces, but you can congure RIP to send or to block RIP routing
information, either from a specic IP address or a specic interface.
To control which devices or interfaces receive routing updates, congure a direct update to one router and congure interfaces to block
RIP updates from other sources.
To control the source of RIP route information, use the following commands.
• Dene a specic router to exchange RIP information between it and the Dell Networking system.
ROUTER RIP mode
neighbor ip-address
You can use this command multiple times to exchange RIP information with as many RIP networks as you want.
• Disable a specic interface from sending or receiving RIP routing information.

Assigning a Prex List to RIP Routes
Another method of controlling RIP (or any routing protocol) routing information is to lter the information through a prex list. A prex list is
applied to incoming or outgoing routes.
Those routes must meet the conditions of the prex list; if not, the system drops the route. Prex lists are globally applied on all interfaces
running RIP. Congure the prex list in PREFIX LIST mode prior to assigning it to the RIP process.
For conguration information about prex lists, refer to Access Control Lists (ACLs).
To apply prex lists to incoming or outgoing RIP routes, use the following commands.
• Assign a congured prex list to all incoming RIP routes.
ROUTER RIP mode
distribute-list prefix-list-name in
• Assign a congured prex list to all outgoing RIP routes.
ROUTER RIP mode
distribute-list prefix-list-name out
To view the current RIP conguration, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode or the show config command in
ROUTER RIP mode.
Adding RIP Routes from Other Instances
In addition to ltering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the RIP process.
With the redistribute command, you can include open shortest path rst (OSPF), static, or directly connected routes in the RIP
process.
To add routes from other routing instances or protocols, use the following commands.
• Include directly connected or user-congured (static) routes in RIP.
