2.2 RIP Configuration Task
2.2.1 Creating the RIP Routing Process
For the router to run the RIP, you must first create the RIP routing process and
define the network associated with the RIP routing process.
To create the RIP routing process, execute the following commands in the global
configuration mode:
Command Function
DES-7200(config)# router rip
Create the RIP routing process.
DES-7200(config-router)# network
network-number wildcard
Define the associated network.
You can configure the network-number and wildcard parameters at the same time
to enable the network segments within the configured address range to run RIP.
Note
There are two meanings for the associated network defined by the network
command:
1. The RIP only notifies the route information of the associated network.
2. The RIP only notifies and receives route update messages through the
interfaces of the associated network.
2.2.2 Advertising the RIP Route Update Message in Unicast Form
The RIP is usually a broadcast or multicast protocol. If the RIP route message
needs to be transmitted across the non-broadcast networks, you need to
configure the router to advertise the RIP route update message in unicast form.
To advertise the RIP route update message in unicast form, execute the following
commands in the RIP routing process configuration mode:
Command Function
DES-7200(conf-router)# neighbor
ip-address
Advertise the RIP update message in unicast
form.
This command allows you to advertise the RIP route update message on a port,
or disable advertising the broadcast route update messageon a port. You need to
configure the passive-interface command in the routing process configuration
mode. For related description on the restriction of route message advertisement,
see Section Route Filtering Configuration of
