2) After receiving the response packets, the router, which has sent the request, will
modify its own routing table.
3) At the same time, RIP broadcasts its routing table to the adjacent routers every 30
seconds. The adjacent routers will maintain their own routing table after receiving
the packets and will select an optimal route, and then advertise the modification
information to their respective adjacent network so as to make the updated route
globally known. Furthermore, RIP uses the timeout mechanism to handle the
out-timed routes so as to ensure the real-timeliness and validity of the routes. With
these mechanisms, RIP, an interior routing protocol, enables the router to learn
the routing information of the whole network.
RIP has become one of the actual standards of transmitting router and host routes by
far. It can be used in most of the campus networks and the regional networks that are
simple yet extensive. For larger and more complicated networks, RIP is not
recommended.
3.2 RIP Configuration
In the configuration tasks, only after RIP is enabled can other functional features be
configured. But the configuration of the interface related functional features is not
restricted by the limit of whether RIP has been enabled. It should be noted that after
RIP is disabled, the interface related features also become invalid.
The RIP configuration includes:
z Enabling RIP and Entering RIP view
z Enabling RIP Interface
z Configuring Unicast of the Message
z Specifying RIP Version of the Interface
z Configuring zero field check of the interface packet
z Specifying the operating state of the interface
z Disabling host route
z Route Aggregation Function
z Setting RIP Packet Authentication
z Configuring Split Horizon
z Configuring RIP to Import Routes of Other Protocols
z Configuring Default Cost for the Imported Route
z Setting the RIP Preference
z Setting Additional Routing Cost
z Configuring Route Filtering
3.2.1 Enabling RIP and Entering RIP view
Perform the following configurations in system view.
