Concept Guide

Implementation Information
Dell EMC Networking OS supports both versions of RIP and allows you to congure one version globally and the other version on
interfaces or both versions on the interfaces.
The following table lists the defaults for RIP in Dell EMC Networking OS.
Table 81. RIP Defaults
Feature Default
Interfaces running RIP
• Listen to RIPv1 and RIPv2
• Transmit RIPv1
RIP timers
• update timer = 30 seconds
• invalid timer = 180 seconds
• holddown timer = 180 seconds
• ush timer = 240 seconds
Auto summarization Enabled
ECMP paths supported 16
Conguration Information
By default, RIP is disabled in Dell EMC Networking OS.
To congure RIP, you must use commands in two modes: ROUTER RIP and INTERFACE. Commands executed in the ROUTER RIP mode
congure RIP globally, while commands executed in the INTERFACE mode congure RIP features on that interface only.
RIP is best suited for small, homogeneous networks. You must congure all devices within the RIP network to support RIP if they are to
participate in the RIP.
Conguration Task List
The following is the conguration task list for RIP.
• Enabling RIP Globally (mandatory)
• Congure RIP on Interfaces (optional)
• Controlling RIP Routing Updates (optional)
• Setting Send and Receive Version (optional)
• Generating a Default Route (optional)
• Controlling Route Metrics (optional)
• Summarize Routes (optional)
• Controlling Route Metrics
• Debugging RIP
For a complete listing of all commands related to RIP, refer to the Dell EMC Networking OS Command Reference Interface Guide.
