Prerequisites
Before configuring RIP features, finish the following tasks.
■ Configure the link layer protocol.
■ Configure the IP address on each interface, and make sure all adjacent routers
are reachable with each other at the network layer.
Configuration Procedure Enable RIP and specify networks
Follow these steps to enable RIP:
n
■ If you make some RIP configurations in interface view before enabling RIP,
those configurations will take effect after RIP is enabled.
■ RIP runs only on the interfaces residing on the specified networks. Therefore,
you need specify the network after enabling RIP to validate RIP on a specific
interface.
■ You can enable RIP on all interfaces using the command network 0.0.0.0.
Configuring the interface behavior
Follow these steps to configure the interface behavior:
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 ]
Required
Not enabled by default
Enable RIP on the network of
an interface
network network-address Required
Disabled by default
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view system-view --
Enter RIP view rip [ process-id ] [

--
Disable an or all interfaces
from sending routing updates
(the interfaces can still receive
updates)
