Setting the RIP Mode 12-9
Setting the RIP
Mode
Use this command to select an RIP mode that is appropriate for your
network. RIP can operate in any of three modes:
■ off — The IPX module does not process any incoming RIP packets and
does not generate any RIP packets of its own.
■ passive — The system processes all incoming RIP packets, but it does
not broadcast periodic or triggered RIP updates or respond to RIP
requests.
■ active — The system 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 off.
To set the RIP mode:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ipx rip mode
2 Enter the RIP mode (off, passive, or active).
Press Return to accept the existing value in brackets.
Setting the
Enhanced RIP Mode
Standard IPX RIP packets include up to 50 route advertisements, but
some routers allow up to 68 route advertisements. Enhanced RIP mode
increases the number of advertisements in an RIP packet that the system
accepts. Enhanced RIP mode gives the system greater interoperability
with routers that do not follow standard IPX advertisement guidelines.
Default The default enhanced RIP mode is disabled.
To enable or disable enhanced RIP mode:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ipx rip enhanced
2 Enter the enhanced RIP state (enabled or disabled).
Press Return to accept the existing value in brackets.
