Enabling or disabling routing protocols
The BigIron RX supports the following protocols:
• BGP4
• DVMRP
• FSRP
• IP
• OSPF
• PIM
• RIP
• VRRP
• VRRPE
By default, IP routing is enabled on the device. All other protocols are disabled, so you must enable
them to configure and use them.
NOTE
The following protocols require a system reset before the protocol will be active on the system: PIM,
DVMRP, RIP, FSRP. To reset a system, enter the reload command at the privileged level of the CLI.
To enable a protocol on a device, enter router at the global CONFIG level, followed by the protocol to
be enabled. The following example shows how to enable OSPF.
BigIron RX(config)# router ospf
BigIron RX(config)# end
BigIron RX# write memory
BigIron RX# reload
Syntax: router bgp | dvmrp | ospf | pim | rip | vrrp | vrrpe
