2.4.7 Specifying a RIP Neighbor
Usually, RIP sends messages to broadcast or multicast addresses. On non broadcast
or multicast links, you need to manually specify RIP neighbors. If a specified neighbor is
not directly connected, you must disable source address check on incoming updates.
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 ] ––
Specify a RIP neighbor
peer ip-address
Required
By default, RIP sends no
updates to any IP
address.
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 neighbor is directly
connected; otherwise the neighbor may receive both the unicast and multicast (or
broadcast) of the same routing information.
2.4.8 Configuring RIP-to-MIB Binding
Follow these steps to bind RIP to MIB:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view
system-view
––
Bind RIP to MIB
rip mib-binding
process-id
Optional
By default, MIB is bound to the
RIP process with the smallest
process ID
