Configuring RDP

Quick Steps for Configuring RDP

OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

page 29-3

Configuring RDP involves enabling RDP operation on the switch and creating RDP interfaces to adver-
tise VLAN router IP addresses on the LAN. There is no order of configuration involved. For example, it is 
possible to create RDP interfaces even if RDP is not enabled on the switch.

The following steps provide a quick tutorial on how to configure RDP. Each step describes a specific 
operation and provides the CLI command syntax for performing that operation.

1 Enable RDP operation on the switch.

-> ip router-discovery enable

Note. Optional. To verify the global RDP configuration for the switch, enter the 

ery 

command. The display is similar to the one shown below:

-> show ip router-discovery

Status                     = Enabled,

RDP uptime                 = 161636 secs

#Packets Tx                = 4,

#Packets Rx                = 0,

#Send Errors               = 0,

#Recv Errors               = 0,

For more information about this command, refer to the “RDP Commands” chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI 
Reference Guide.

2 Use the following command to create an RDP interface for an IP router interface. In this example, an 
RDP interface is created for the IP router interface named Marketing (note that the IP interface is refer-
enced by its name).

-> ip router-discovery interface Marketing enable

3 When an RDP interface is created, default values are set for the interface advertisement destination 

address, transmission interval, lifetime, and preference level parameters. If you want to change the 
default values for these parameters, see 

Note. Optional. To verify the RDP configuration for all RDP interfaces, enter the 

command. The display is similar to the one shown below:

-> show ip router-discovery interface
