Enabling RIP and a RIP interface
Follow these steps to enable RIP:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view ––
Enable a RIP process and enter
RIP view
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
Required
Not enabled by default
Enable RIP on the interface
attached to the specified network
network network-address
Required
Disabled by default
z If you make some RIP configurations in interface view before enabling RIP, those configurations
will take effect after RIP is enabled.
z RIP runs only on the interfaces residing on the specified networks. Therefore, you need to specify
the network after enabling RIP to validate RIP on a specific interface.
z You can enable RIP on all interfaces using the command network 0.0.0.0.
z If a physical interface is attached to multiple networks, you cannot advertise these networks in
different RIP processes.
Configuring the interface behavior
