Enabling RIP and a RIP interface
Follow these guidelines when you enable RIP:
• RIP configurations made in interface view before enabling RIP take effect after RIP is enabled.
• RIP runs only on the interfaces residing on the specified networks; therefore, you must specify the
network after enabling RIP to validate RIP on a specific interface.
• You can enable RIP on all interfaces by using the command network 0.0.0.0.
• If a physical interface is attached to multiple networks, you cannot advertise these networks in
different RIP processes.
To enable RIP:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable a RIP process
and enter RIP view.
rip [ process-id ]
[ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
Not enabled by default.
3. Enable RIP on the
interface attached to the
specified network.
network network-address By default, RIP is disabled on interfaces.
Configuring the interface behavior
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter RIP view.
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
N/A
3. Disable the specific
interface or all interfaces
from sending routing
updates (the interfaces
can still receive updates).
silent-interface { interface-type
interface-number | all }
Optional.
By default, all interfaces can
send routing updates.
4. Return to system view. quit N/A
5. Enter interface view. interface interface-type interface-number N/A
6. Enable the interface to
receive RIP messages.
rip input
Optional.
Enabled by default.
7. Enable the interface to
send RIP messages.
rip output
Optional.
Enabled by default.
Configuring a RIP version
A RIPv1-enabled interface sends RIPv1 broadcasts, and can receive RIPv1 broadcasts and unicasts.
