Configuring RIP RIP Routing
OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide September 2009 page 28-7
Enabling RIP
RIP is disabled by default. Use the ip rip status command to enable RIP routing on the switch. For exam-
ple:
-> ip rip status enable
Use the ip rip status disable command to disable RIP routing on the switch. Use the show ip rip
command to display the current RIP status.
Creating a RIP Interface
You must create a RIP interface on a VLAN’s IP router interface to enable RIP routing. Enter the ip rip
interface command followed by the name of the VLAN router port. For example, to create a RIP inter-
face on a router port with a name of rip-1 you would enter:
-> ip rip interface rip-1
Use the no ip rip interface command to delete a RIP interface. Use the show ip rip interface command
to display configuration and error information for a RIP interface.
Note. You can create a RIP interface even if an IP router interface has not been configured. However, RIP
will not function unless a RIP interface is created and enabled on an IP router interface. See Chapter 4,
“Configuring VLANs,” and Chapter 24, “Configuring IP,” for more information.
Enabling a RIP Interface
Once you have created a RIP interface, you must enable it to enable RIP routing. Use the ip rip interface
status command followed by the interface IP address to enable a RIP interface. For example, to enable
RIP routing on a RIP interface rip-1 you would enter:
-> ip rip interface rip-1 status enable
To disable an RIP interface, use the disable keyword with the ip rip interface status command. For
example to disable RIP routing on a RIP interface rip-1 you would enter:
-> ip rip interface rip-1 status disable
Configuring the RIP Interface Send Option
The RIP Send option defines the type(s) of RIP packets that the interface will send. Using this command
will override RIP default behavior. Other devices must be able to interpret the information provided by
this command or routing information will not be properly exchanged between the switch and other devices
on the network.
Use the ip rip interface send-version command to configure an individual RIP interface Send option.
Enter the IP address of the RIP interface, and then enter a Send option. For example, to configure a RIP
interface rip-1 to send only RIPv1 packets you would enter:
-> ip rip interface rip-1 send-version v1
The Send options are:
• v1. Only RIPv1 packets will be sent by the switch.
