Use this command to attach a network of directly connected networks to a RIP routing process, or to remove a network from a RIP routing process.
ip-address | Specifies the IP address of a directly connected network that RIP will advertise to its neighboring routers. |
wild-card-bits | Specifies a mask for the directly connected network. |
None.
Configuration command, RIP configuration command mode.
RIP network wildcard masks are reverse networks. This means that wherever there is a 1 in a regular netmask, use a 0 in a wildcard mask. For example, if the network mask is 255.255.255.0 (/24), specify a wildcard mask of 000.000.000.255.
The “no” form of this command removes the network from the RIP routing process.
This example shows how to attach network 192.168.1.0 to the RIP routing process:
System(rw-config)->router rip System(rw-config-rip)->network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
