Interfacing OSPF to RIP
Where an OSPF-routed network is interfaced to a RIP-routed network, OSPF and
RIP must only be enabled on the interfacing Eclipse terminal.
• If both OSPF and RIP are enabled on multiple Eclipse terminals in a network, routes
installed by one protocol are propagated by the other, resulting in a proliferation of
conflicting routes.
At the interfacing Eclipse terminal:
•Where an Eclipse OSPF-routed terminal interfaces with a co-located RIP-routed
terminal, set RIP on the Eclipse Ethernet interface and OSPF on the Eclipse link/
radio interface(s).
•Where an Eclipse OSPF-routed terminal is required to interface with one or more
co-located Eclipse OSPF-routed terminals and a RIP-routed terminal, set RIP and
OSPF on each Eclipse Ethernet interface, and OSPF on the their link/radio
interface(s).
Note that:
• Simultaneous RIP and OSPF is only ever enabled on an Eclipse Ethernet NMS
interface.
• The Eclipse radio link interfaces are set for OSPF or RIP - set to match the dynamic
routing option selected for the Eclipse network.
• This partitioning of routing selection is enabled in the Interface Addressing screen.
Within an Eclipse network that is using dynamic routing, select OSPF
or RIP; never both.
Where an Eclipse network must interface with a network that is
using a different dynamic routing protocol, only select both (OSPF
and RIP) on the Ethernet interface.
For information on OSPF and RIP routed networks, including an
introduction to OSPF, refer to the Aviat Networks white paper:
Management of Eclipse Networks.
Eclipse Address and Routing Options
At the outset, a decision must be made to use single or interface IP addressing, and
static or dynamic routing. The screen-based configuration options are:
1. Single IP addressing and static routing:
• Use of a single IP address and subnet mask. This specifies the Ethernet port
address, and the link interface also assumes this address.
• Requires manual configuration and maintenance of the routing table for all
devices within the network.
2. Single IP addressing with a combination of static routing and routing via default
gateways:
