Command Reference Guide

Router (RIP) Configuration Command Set

network <address> <subnet mask>

Use the network command to enable RIP on the specified network. The Secure Router OS will only allow

processing (sending and receiving) RIP messages on interfaces with IP addresses that are contained in the

networks listed using this command. All RIP messages received on interfaces not listed using this

command will be discarded. To allow for receiving and participating in RIP but not for transmitting, use

the passive-interface command (see passive-interface <interface> on page 898). Use the no form of this

command to remove a network from the list.

Syntax Description

<address> IP address of the network on which RIP will be enabled

<subnet mask> Subnet mask that corresponds to the entered IP address

Default Values

By default, RIP is not enabled.
