28 Configuring RIP
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a widely used Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that uses hop count
as its routing metric. RIP-enabled routers update neighboring routers by transmitting a copy of their own
routing table. The RIP routing table uses the most efficient route to a destination, that is, the route with the
fewest hops and longest matching prefix.
as its routing metric. RIP-enabled routers update neighboring routers by transmitting a copy of their own
routing table. The RIP routing table uses the most efficient route to a destination, that is, the route with the
fewest hops and longest matching prefix.
The switch supports RIP version 1 (RIPv1), RIP version 2 (RIPv2), and RIPv2 that is compatible with
RIPv1. It also supports text key and MD5 authentication, on an interface basis, for RIPv2.
RIPv1. It also supports text key and MD5 authentication, on an interface basis, for RIPv2.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes RIP and how to configure it through the Command Line Interface (CLI). It includes
instructions for configuring basic RIP routing and fine-tuning RIP by using optional RIP configuration
parameters (e.g., RIP send/receive option and RIP interface metric). It also details RIP redistribution,
which allows a RIP network to exchange routing information with networks running different protocols
(e.g., OSPF and BGP). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the
syntax of commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
