Configuring RIP

This section provides details for the configuration of RIP on the S- K- and 7100-Series products.

Default RIP Parameters lists RIP parameters and their default values.

Default RIP Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default Value
RIP process	The RIP Router process on this device.	disabled
distance	The administrative distance that specifies the preference for RIP routing over other routing types on this device.	120
update interval	Specifies the interval between routing updates.	30 seconds
expiration interval	Specifies the interval from the point of the last update after which a route times out and is marked to expire.	180 seconds
flush interval	Specifies the interval from the point of a routes expiration after which a route is deleted from the routing table.	120 seconds

Configuring RIP describes how to configure RIP.

Configuring RIP

Step	Task	Command(s)
1	In configuration command mode, enable the RIP process for this device.	router rip
2	In RIP configuration command mode, attach one or more networks to this RIP process.	network ip-address wild-card-bits
3	Optionally, in RIP configuration command mode, change the administrative distance for RIP routing on this device.	distance weight
4	Optionally, in interface configuration command mode, add an offset to the hop metric of an incoming or outgoing RIP route for this interface.	ip rip offset {in | out} value
5	Optionally, in RIP configuration command mode, change the basic timers associated with RIP: Update interval Route expiration interval Route flush interval	timers basic update-seconds invalid-seconds flush-seconds
6	Optionally, in configuration command mode, name a RIP authentication key chain and enter key chain configuration command mode.	key chain name
7	Optionally, in key chain configuration command mode, create a RIP authentication key for this key chain and enter authentication key configuration command mode.	key key-id
8	Optionally, In authentication key configuration command mode, specify a key-string for this key that will be used by RIP to authenticate sent and received RIP packets.	key-string text
9	Optionally, in key configuration command mode, specify a time period during which an authentication key is valid to be received.	accept-lifetime start-time month date year {duration seconds | end-time | infinite}
10	Optionally, in key configuration command mode, specify a time period during which an authentication key is valid to be sent.	send-lifetime start-time month date year {duration seconds | end-time | infinite}
11	Optionally, in interface configuration command mode, apply a RIP authentication key chain to an interface.	ip rip authentication keychain name
12	Optionally, in interface configuration command mode, set the authentication mode when a key chain is present on this interface.	ip rip authentication mode {text | md5}
13	Optionally, in RIP configuration command mode, specify an interface that will be prevented from transmitting RIP update packets.	passive-interface vlan vlan-id
14	Optionally, in RIP configuration command mode, specify an ACL to be added to the distribute-list to filter networks received and to suppress networks from being advertised in RIP updates.	distribute-list access-list-number {in vlan vlan-id | out vlan vlan-id}
15	In RIP configuration command mode, specify the non-RIP protocols to be distributed in RIP update messages.	redistribute {connected | ospf process-id | static} [metric metric-value]
