Configure Dynamic Routes Using RIP
To configure the device server for dynamic routing using the Routing
Information Protocol (RIP), use the “set forwarding” command. See
"set forwarding" on page 120.
You should be signed on as “root” and have configured or will configure
modems, modem scripts, devices, and filters for routes that use serial
lines.
1. Configure the links over which routed packets and RIP updates will be
sent.
• To enable routing over the LAN to which device server is attached,
no routing-specific configuration is required.
• To enable routing over PPP links, be sure to use the “netrouting”
option on the “set user” command to configure how device server
handles RIP updates. You can configure the link so that device
server does any of the following with RIP updates:
- Both sends and receives them (“netrouting=both”)
- Sends them only (“netrouting=send”)
- Receives them only (“netrouting=receive”)
- Neither sends nor receives them (“netrouting=off”)
2. Configure the device server for dynamic routing with a “set forwarding”
command that specifies “state=active.”
This example shows only those commands and command options
pertinent to routing. The device server is configured for dynamic routing
using RIP. But to prevent RIP updates from being sent across the PPP link,
the “set user” command that defines the link specifies “netrouting=off.”
The commands to configure this setup are:
#> set forwarding state=active poisonreverse=on splithorizon=on
#> set user name=link1...netrouting=off
