Specifying a RIP neighbor
Usually, RIP sends messages to broadcast or multicast addresses. On non broadcast or multicast links,
you must manually specify RIP neighbors.
Follow these steps to specify a RIP neighbor:
To do… Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view system-view ––
Enter RIP view
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
––
Specify a RIP neighbor peer ip-address Required
Disable source address check on
incoming RIP updates
undo validate-source-address
Required
Not disabled by default
NOTE:
• You need not use the peer
ip-address command when the nei
g
hbor is directly connected; otherwise the
neighbor may receive both the unicast and multicast (or broadcast) of the same routing information.
• If a specified neighbor is not directly connected, you need to disable source address check on incomin
g
updates.
Configuring the RIP packet sending rate
RIP periodically sends routing information in RIP packets to RIP neighbors.
Sending large numbers of RIP packets at the same time may affect device performance and consume
large network bandwidth. To solve this problem, you can specify the maximum number of RIP packets
that can be sent at the specified interval.
Follow these steps to configure the RIP packet sending rate:
To do… Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view system-view ––
Enable a RIP process and enter RIP
view
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
––
Configure the maximum number of
RIP packets that can be sent at the
specified interval
output-delay time count count
Optional
By default, an interface sends up to
three RIP packets every 20
milliseconds.
Displaying and maintaining RIP
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Display RIP current status and
configuration information
display rip [ process-id | vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
Available in any
view
Display all active routes in RIP
database
display rip process-id database
Display RIP interface information
display rip process-id interface [ interface-type
interface-number ]
