Configuring RIP
9-33
Enabling RIP
In order to use RIP on the BSR, RIP must be enabled. The remaining tasks described
in this chapter are optional.
Follow these steps to enable RIP on the BSR:
1. Use the router rip command in Global Configuration mode to enable a RIP
routing process on the BSR, as shown in the example below:
MOT(config)#router rip
This enables RIP and places you in Router Configuration mode. Use the no
router rip command to disable RIP.
2. You may specify multiple network sub-commands. RIP routing updates are sent
and received only through interfaces on the network that you specify. If you do
not specify the IP address related to the interface, RIP updates do not advertise
the network associated with this interface. Use the network command in Router
Configuration mode to associate a network with the RIP routing process, as
shown in the example below:
MOT(config-rip)#network <ip-address> [<subnetmask>]
where:
ip-address is the network number.
subnetmask is the network mask to the new address so that RIP runs on that
specific network.
Example
The following example configuration defines RIP as the routing protocol to be used
on all interfaces connected to networks 138.82.0.0, 182.41.4.0, and 10.10.10.0:
router rip
network 138.82.0.0 255.255.0.0
network 182.41.5.0 255.255.255.0
network 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
