Chapter 10 Configuring Networking Protocols
Basic IP Routing Protocol Configuration
For IP routing, you need the following to configure your interface:
• IP address
• IP subnet mask
You also need to do the following:
• Select a routing protocol.
• Assign IP network numbers to be advertised.
The ML Series supports the routing protocols listed and described in the following sections.
Basic IP Routing Protocol Configuration
To configure IP routing protocols to run on a Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or POS interface, perform
one of the following procedures, depending on the protocol you are configuring.
RIP
To configure the RIP protocol, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configuration
mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# router rip
Enters router configuration mode, defines RIP as the
routing protocol, and starts the RIP routing process.
Step 2
Router(config-router)# network
net-number
Specifies a directly connected network based on the
Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC) network
number—not a subnet number or individual address. The
routing process associates interfaces with the appropriate
addresses and begins processing packets on the specified
network.
Step 3
Router(config-router)# exit
Returns to global configuration mode.
