RIP Configuration
3-5
Note:
z Related RIP commands configured in interface view can take effect only after RIP
is enabled.
z RIP operates on the interface of a network segment only when it is enabled on the
interface. When RIP is disabled on an interface, it does not operate on the
interface, that is, it neither receives/sends routes on the interface nor forwards its
interface route. Therefore, after RIP is enabled globally, you must also specify its
operating network segments to enable it on the corresponding interfaces.
II. Setting the RIP operating status on an interface
Table 3-3 Setting the RIP operating status on an interface
Operation Command Description
Enter system view
system-view
—
Enter interface view
interface interface-type
interface-number
—
Enable the interface to
receive RIP update packets
rip input
Enable the interface to send
RIP update packets
rip output
Run RIP on the interface
rip work
Optional
By default, all
interfaces are allowed
to send and receive
RIP packets.
III. Specifying the RIP version on an interface
Table 3-4 Specify the RIP version on an interface
Operation Command Description
Enter system view
system-view
—
Enter interface view
interface interface-type
interface-number
—
Specify RIP version on
the interface
rip version { 1 | 2
[ broadcast |
multicast ] }
Optional
By default, the interface can
receive RIP-1 and RIP-2
broadcast packets but send
only RIP-1 packets. When
specifying the RIP version on
an interface as RIP-2, you can
also specify the mode
(broadcast or multicast) to
send RIP packets.
