Configuring RIP

Command Line

The Switch supports either RIP or OSPF for unicast routing. Only one of these protocols may be enabled at a

time.

Configuration steps

To enable RIP and set its parameters, enter your choices using this command:

>rip <ip_address | * > <on | off>

To enable RIP, select on. The default is off.

In <ip_address>, enter an IP address for a single interface or asterisk (*) to enable RIP on all interfaces

To configure RIP options for one or all interfaces:

>rip <ip_address | * >

[<parameter> <value>]

<ip_address> is the IP address for a single interface

<*> indicates all interfaces

<parameter> snd: outgoing protocol for RIP packets

<value> 1 = doNotSend, 2 = ripVersion1, 3 = rip1Compatible (default),

4 = ripVersion2

Example: >rip 192.168.16.3 snd 4

<parameter> rcv: incoming protocol for RIP packets.

<value> 1 = rip1, 2 = rip2, 3 = rip1or rip2 (default)

Example: >rip 192.168.16.3 rcv 2

<parameter> mtrc: metric for this interface.

<value> 1 to 15

Example: >rip 192.168.16.3 mtrc 5

<parameter> splt: enable, disable Simple Split Horizon, Split Horizon w/ Poison Reverse

<value> 1 = disable, 2 = Simple Split Horizon (default), 3 = Split Horizon with Poison Reverse

Example: >rip 192.168.16.3 splt 1

<parameter> trig: enable, disable triggered updates

<value> 1 = disable (default), 2 = enable

Example: >rip 192.168.16.3 trig 2

<parameter> hsti: process host routes in packets received

<value> 1 = disable (default), 2 = enable

Example: >rip 192.168.16.3 hsti 2

<parameter> hsto: include host routes in packets sent

<value> 1 = disable (default), 2 = enable

Example: >rip 192.168.16.3 hsto 1
