Quick Steps for Configuring RIP Routing
To forward packets to a device on a different VLAN, you must create a router port on each VLAN. To
route packets by using RIP, you must enable RIP and create a RIP interface on the router port. The follow-
ing steps show you how to enable RIP routing between VLANs “from scratch”. If active VLANs and
router ports have already been created on the switch, go to Step 7.
1 Create VLAN 1 with a description (e.g., VLAN 1) by using the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 1 name “VLAN 1”
2 Create VLAN 2 with a description (e.g., VLAN 2) by using the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 2 name “VLAN 2”
3 Assign an active port to VLAN 1 by using the vlan port default command. For example, the follow-
ing command assigns port 1 on slot 1 to VLAN 1:
-> vlan 1 port default 1/1
4 Assign an active port to VLAN 2 by using the vlan port default command. For example, the follow-
ing command assigns port 2 on slot 1 to VLAN 2:
-> vlan 2 port default 1/2
5 Configure an IP interface to enable IP routing on a VLAN by using the ip interface. For example:
-> ip interface vlan-1 address 171.10.1.1 vlan 1
6 Configure an IP interface to enable IP routing on a VLAN by using the ip interface. For example:
-> ip interface vlan-2 address 171.11.1.1 vlan 2
7 Load RIP into the switch memory by using the ip load rip command. For example:
-> ip load rip
8 Enable RIP on the switch by using the ip rip status command. For example:
-> ip rip status enable
9 Create a RIP interface on VLAN 1 by using the ip rip interface command. For example:
-> ip rip interface vlan-1
10 Enable the RIP interface by using the ip rip interface status command. For example:
-> ip rip interface vlan-1 status enable
11 Create an RIP interface on VLAN 2 by using the ip rip interface command. For example:
-> ip rip interface vlan-2
