Concept Guide

Assign IP addresses to interfaces that are part of the same subnet as the RIP network identied in the network command syntax.
Controlling RIP Routing Updates
By default, RIP broadcasts routing information out all enabled interfaces, but you can congure RIP to send or to block RIP routing
information, either from a specic IP address or a specic interface.
To control which devices or interfaces receive routing updates, congure a direct update to one router and congure interfaces to block
RIP updates from other sources.
To control the source of RIP route information, use the following commands.
• Dene a specic router to exchange RIP information between it and the Dell Networking system.
ROUTER RIP mode
neighbor ip-address
You can use this command multiple times to exchange RIP information with as many RIP networks as you want.
• Disable a specic interface from sending or receiving RIP routing information.
ROUTER RIP mode
passive-interface interface
Adding RIP Routes from Other Instances
In addition to ltering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the RIP process.
With the redistribute command, you can include open shortest path rst (OSPF), static, or directly connected routes in the RIP
process.
To add routes from other routing instances or protocols, use the following commands.
• Include directly connected or user-congured (static) routes in RIP.
ROUTER RIP mode
redistribute {connected | static} [metric metric-value] [route-map map-name]
– metric-value: the range is from 0 to 16.
– map-name: the name of a congured route map.
• Include specic OSPF routes in RIP.
ROUTER RIP mode
redistribute ospf process-id [match external {1 | 2} | match internal] [metric value] [route-
map map-name]
Congure the following parameters:
– process-id: the range is from 1 to 65535.
– metric: the range is from 0 to 16.
– map-name: the name of a congured route map.
To view the current RIP conguration, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode or the show config command in
ROUTER RIP mode.
