45.1.3 Configuring RIP Tasks
45.1.3.1 Starting up RIP
Run the following command in global configuration mode to activate RIP:
Command Purpose
routerrip
Activates the RIP routing process and
enters the switch configuration mode.
networknetwork-number<network-mask>
Specifies the network number related
to the RIP routing process.
45.1.3.2 Allowing RIP Routing to Update the Single-Program Broadcast
Normally, RIP is a broadcast protocol. To enable the RIP routing update to reach the non-broadcast network,
you must configure the switch to enable it to exchange the routing information.
Run the following command in switch configuration mode to enable the routing information exchange:
Command Purpose
neighborip-address
Defines a neighboring switch to
exchange routing information with the
known switch.
Additionally, you can run ip rip passive to specify ports to forbid sending the route update information.
45.1.3.3 Applying the Offset to the Routing Weight
The offset list is used to add an offset for the outgoing routes or the incoming routes learned by the RIP. It
provides a local mechanism to add the routing weight. You also can use the access list or the interface to limit
the offset list. Run the following command in switch configuration mode to add the routing weight.
Command Purpose
offset｛[interface-type number]|* ｝
{in|out} access-list-name offset
Adds an offset for the routing weight.
45.1.3.4 Adjusting the Timer
The routing protocol uses several timers to judge the frequency of sending route update information, how
much time is needed for the route to become ineffective and other parameters. You can adjust these timers
to improve the performance of the routing protocol.
You also can adjust the routing protocol to speed up the convergent time of all IP routing arithmetic, rapidly
backing up the redundancy switch and ensuring the minimum breakdown time in case of quick recovery.
Run the following command in switch configuration mode to adjust the timer:
Command Purpose
