Related RIP commands configured in interface view can take effect only after RIP is enabled. 

z 

RIP operates on the interfaces attached to a specified network segment. When RIP is disabled on 

an interface, it does not operate on the interface, that is, it neither receives/sends routes on the 

interface, nor forwards any interface route. Therefore, after RIP is enabled globally, you must also 

specify its operating network segments to enable it on the corresponding interfaces. 

 

Follow these steps to set the RIP operating status on an interface: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter interface view 

interface interface-type 
interface-number 

— 

Enable the interface to receive RIP update 
packets 

rip input 

Enable the interface to send RIP update packets

rip output 

Enable the interface to receive and send RIP 
update packets 

Optional 

Enabled by 
default 

 

Follow these steps to specify the RIP version on an interface: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter interface view 

interface interface-type 
interface-number 

— 

Specify the version of the 
RIP running on the 
interface 

rip version { 1 | 2 [ broadcast 
| multicast ] } 

Optional 

By default, the version of the RIP 
running on an interface is RIP-1. 

 

In actual implementation, it may be needed to control RIP routing information more accurately to 

accommodate complex network environments. By performing the configuration described in the 

following sections, you can: 

z 

Control route selection by adjusting additional routing metrics on interfaces running RIP. 

z 

Reduce the size of the routing table by setting route summarization and disabling the receiving of 

host routes. 

z 

Filter incoming and outgoing routes.
