RIP Controls
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) control options allows you to decide what
routing information you want to receive and what routing information you choose to
share on the network.
For a remote interface, the default is to not send or receive IP RIP packets. If you
choose to use this default, you must use the remote addiproute command to
configure static routes for this WAN link.
The router can be configured to send and receive RIP packet information,
respectively, to and from the remote router. This means that the local site will “learn”
all about the routes beyond the remote router and the remote router will “learn” all
about the local site’s routes. You may not want this to occur in some cases. For
example, if you are connecting to a site outside your company, such as the Internet,
you may want to keep knowledge about your local site’s routes private.
To see the current settings for a remote interface, use the remote list command and
check the output lines:
For an Ethernet interface, the default is to:
• receive and process IP RIP-1 compatible and RIP-2 broadcast packets from
the Ethernet LAN.
• receive and process RIP-2 packets that are multicast as defined by the eth ip
ripmulticast command.
• transmit RIP-1 compatible broadcast packets and RIP-2 multicast packets
over the Ethernet LAN.
To see the current settings for an Ethernet interface, use the eth list command and
check the output lines:
To set or clear RIP options for a remote interface or an Ethernet interface, use these
commands:
-> remote setipoptions <option> on | off <remotename>
Send IP RIP to this dest............. no
Send IP default route if known..... no
Receive IP RIP from this dest........ no
Receive IP default route by RIP.... no
->
eth list
Send IP RIP to the LAN............... rip-1 compatible
Advertise me as default router..... yes
Process IP RIP packets received...... rip-1 compatible
Receive default route by RIP....... yes
