10-20 CHAPTER 10: ADMINISTERING IP ROUTING
Setting the RIP Mode You can select an RIP mode that is appropriate for each interface. RIP can
operate in any of three modes:
■ off — The station does not process any incoming RIP packets and
does not generate any RIP packets of its own.
■ passive — The station processes all incoming RIP packets and
responds to explicit requests for routing information, but it does not
broadcast periodic or triggered RIP updates.
■ active — The station processes all incoming RIP packets, responds to
explicit requests for routing information, and broadcasts periodic and
triggered RIP updates.
Default The default RIP mode is passive.
To set the RIP mode:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip rip mode
2 Enter the RIP mode (off, passive, or active).
3 To accept the existing value in brackets, press Return at the prompt.
Example:
Select interfaces (1-2|all):2
Enter RIP mode (off,passive,active): active
Setting the RIP
Interface Cost
The system uses the RIP interface cost (a number between 1 and 15) to
calculate route metrics. Unless your network has special requirements,
assign a cost of 1 to all interfaces.
To set the RIP interface cost:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip rip cost
2 Enter the cost value.
Example:
Select interface(s) (1-2|all): 2
Enter RIP cost [1]:
