Note
RIP version 2 is used by default.
The above files configure the device to listen for and send multicast RIP messages on
the eth0 (LAN port) interface. You can see the above example has commented out
additional interfaces which to exchange RIP messages over and optional neighbors
routers to exchange RIP messages with if these neighbours can't accept multicast
packets. There is also an example for setting up RIP version 2 authentication.
Uncomment and configure as required.
Restart route management to enable the updated configuration – uncheck Enable route
management, click Update, check Enable route management and click Update.
If you prefer, you can uncomment the password and enable password lines, and then
telnet to the relevant ports to configure Zebra and/or ripd via the command line. The
command line interface is very similar to the Cisco IOS interface. If you are familiar with
this, you may prefer to configure using this method.
