Configuring RIP 293
You can make the following configurations for RIP to advertise and receive routing
information:
■ Setting additional routing metric
■ Configuring RIP to import routers of other protocols
■ Configuring RIP route filtering
■ Enabling/disabling host route receiving by the router
■ Configuring RIP-2 route summary
3 RIP configuration
■ Configuring the RIP precedence
■ Configuring RIP timers
■ Configuring zero field check for RIP-1 packets
■ Specifying RIP version of the interface
4 Configuration related to security
You can select the following configurations to improve RIP security during
exchanging routing information, or control the area to transmit RIP packets.
■ Setting RIP-2 packet authentication
■ Specifying the operating state of the interface
Enabling RIP and
Entering RIP View
Perform the following configurations in system view.
By default, RIP is not enabled.
Enabling RIP on the
Specified Network
Segment
To flexibly control RIP operation, you can enable RIP on the specified network
segment so that the corresponding ports can receive and send RIP packets.
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.
Note that after the RIP task is enabled, you should also specify its operating
network segment, for RIP only operates on the interface on the specified network
segment. For an interface that is not on the specified network segment, RIP does
not receive or send routes on it, nor forwards its interface route, as if this interface
does not exist at all. network-address is the address of the enabled or disabled
network, and it can also be configured as the IP network address of respective
interfaces.
