Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance vector protocol that is part
of the TCP/IP protocol suite used to exchange routing information between
routers. RIP determines a route based on the smallest hop count between
source and destination.
Routing protocols such as RIPv1 and RIPv2 can be enabled on a VLAN. To
enable RIPv2 on the admin VLAN, enter the command:
ADD IP RIP INTERFACE=vlan11 SEND=RIP2 RECEIVE=BOTH
To display information about RIP (Figure 14 on page 103), enter the command:
SHOW IP RIP
Figure 14: Example output from the SHOW IP RIP command.
To interpret output from the SHOW IP RIP command see the Internet Protocol
(IP) chapter in the AR400 Series Router Software Reference.
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)
The Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is a signalling protocol designed to
reserve bandwidth for realtime transmission. RSVP is not a traffic delivery
protocol or a routing protocol. RSVP does not deliver the application’s traffic to
its destination or manage the routing of the data packets; this is left to existing
transport and routing protocols.
RSVP enables the receiver of a traffic flow to make the resource reservations
necessary to ensure that the receiver obtains the desired Quality of Service
(QoS) for the traffic flow.
RSVP is disabled by default. To enable RSVP, enter the command:
ENABLE RSVP
Each IP interface that is to receive and process RSVP messages and accept
reservation requests must be enabled. To enable RSVP on the admin VLAN,
enter the command:
ENABLE RSVP INTERFACE=vlan11
To display information about the interfaces enabled for RSVP (Figure 15 on
page 104), enter the command:
SHOW RSVP INTERFACE
