278 CHAPTER 33: RIP CONFIGURATION
n
■ RIP can be enabled on an interface only after it has been enabled globally.
■ RIP operates on the interface of a network segment only when it is enabled on
the interface. When RIP is disabled on an interface, it does not operate on the
interface, that is, it neither receives/sends routes on the interface nor forwards
its interface route. Therefore, after RIP is enabled globally, you must also specify
its operating network segments to enable it on the corresponding interfaces.
■ The network 0.0.0.0 command is used to enable RIP on all interfaces.

By default, RIP is disabled on
any interface.

Operation Command Description
Enter system view system-view -
Enter interface view

-
Enable the interface to receive
RIP update packets
rip input
Optional
By default, except for
loopback interface, all
interfaces are allowed to send
and receive RIP packets.

RIP update packets

Run RIP on the interface rip work
Tabl e 198 Specify the RIP version on an interface
Operation Command Description
Enter system view system-view -
Enter interface view
interface interface-type
interface-number
-
Specify RIP version on the
interface
rip version { 1 | 2 [
broadcast | multicast ] }
Optional
By default, the RIP version on
an interface is RIP-1, and the
interface can receive RIP-1
and RIP-2 broadcast packets
but send only RIP-1 packets.
When specifying the RIP
version on an interface to
RIP-2, you can also specify the
mode (broadcast or multicast)
to send RIP packets.
