Switch 7700 Configuration Guide

68 CHAPTER 5: ROUTING PROTOCOL OPERATION
Enable RIP and Enter the RIP View
Perform the following configurations in system view.
By default, RIP is not enabled.
Enable the RIP Interface
For flexible control of RIP operation, you can specify the interface and configure
the network where it is located to the RIP network, so that these interfaces can
send and receive 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.
For an interface that is not on the specified network, RIP does not receive or send
routes on it, and does not forwards its interface route. The network-address
parameter is the address of the enabled or disabled network, and it can also be
configured as the IP network address of the appropriate interfaces.
When a network command is used for an address, the effect is to enable the
interface of the network with this address. For example, for network
129.102.1.1, you can see network 129.102.0.0 using either the display
current-configuration command or the display rip command.
By default, RIP is disabled on all the interfaces after the router boots.
Configure Unicast RIP Messages
RIP is a broadcast protocol, and to exchange route information with the
non-broadcast network, the unicast transmission mode must be adopted.
Please perform the following configuration in the RIP view.
By default, RIP does not send any message to any unicast address.
