17.2.5.4. RIP Networks
Figure 17.20. RIP Networks
Neighbors are specific routers with which to exchange routes using the RIP protocol. This can be
used when you want to explicitly control which routers are part of your RIP network.
Networks are used when you want to add any router that is part of a specific subnet, or connected to
a specific network interface to be part of your RIP network.
Both neighbors and networks can be used at the same time.
Note
For point to point links (T1/E1 links for example) one must use neighbor entries to add other
routers to exchange routes with. Also note that RIP v1 does not send subnet mask information in
its updates. Any defined networks are restricted to the classic (in the sense of Class A, B and C)
networks. RIP v2 does not have this failing.
17.2.5.5. RIP Status
This status menu shows various pieces of information about the current RIP status. The status of each
interface is shown, the current database, the current RIP neighbors and the current RIP routing table.
17.2.5.6. View RIP Configuration
This menu shows the current configuration file of RIP.
