Configuring IP Routes
Dynamic Routes via RIP Listening
Use the following procedure to configure the storage router to learn routes from RIP advertisements, and
dynamically populate the routing table. The storage router supports both RIP version 1 (v1) and RIP
version 2 (v2).
The SN 5428-2 RIP implementation runs RIP v2 in broadcast mode. This allows the storage router to
learn from either RIP v1 or RIP v2 hosts that are operating in broadcast mode. The storage router will
not learn routes from RIP v2 hosts operating in multicast mode.
Note The storage router is a passive, or silent, RIP device; it updates routes based on RIP advertisements but
it does not advertise.
Step 4
ip route 10.1.50.249/32
10.1.10.201
Configure a gateway IP address if the secondary DNS server is
outside the storage router management subnet. The second IP
address specifies a gateway on the storage router management
network that will provide access to a secondary DNS server.
Note In this configuration example, the mask is set to 32
(255.255.255.255) to specify the host with IP address
10.1.50.249 (the secondary DNS server).
Step 5
ip route 10.1.60.86/32
10.1.10.201
Specify the gateway IP address if the time server is outside the
storage router management subnet. The second IP address
specifies the gateway on the storage router management network
that provides access to the time server.
Note In this configuration example, the mask is set to 32
(255.255.255.255) to specify the host with IP address
10.1.60.86.

Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
ip rip enable Enable RIP listening. The storage router listens for advertised
routes, learning routing information dynamically as it is
exchanged in the network.
