Configure RIP Interface Compatibility
Configure RIP parameters on an interface so you can control RIP behavior on the interface. You can specify the RIP version to use on interfaces that you configure to send (supply) or receive (listen to) RIP updates.
Before you begin
Configure a routing interface (either a router port or a virtual routing interface).
Assign an IP address to the interface.
Enable RIP globally.
Change the VRF instance as required to configure RIP on a specific VRF instance. The VRF must have an RP trigger of RIP. Not all parameters are configurable on non-default VRFs.
About this task
On an interface, RIP does not operate until you enable it globally and on the interface.
Although visible, the switch does not support the AuthType and AuthKey parameters.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Select RIP.
- Select the Interface tab.
- Double-click the Send value to edit it, and then select the RIP version datagrams the router sends.
- Double-click the Receive value to edit it, and then select the RIP version datagrams for which the router listens.
- Select Apply.
Interface Field Descriptions
Use the data in the following table to use the Interface tab.
Name |
Description |
---|---|
Address |
Specifies the IP address of the router interface. |
Domain |
Specifies the value inserted into the routing domain parameter of all RIP packets sent on this interface. |
AuthType |
Specifies the type of authentication to use on this interface. |
AuthKey |
Specifies the authentication key whenever AuthType is not noAuthentication. |
Send |
Specifies the update version the router sends on this interface:
The default is rip1compatible. |
Receive |
Indicates which versions of RIP updates to accept:
The default is rip1OrRip2. Rip2 and rip1OrRip2 imply receipt of multicast packets. |
Job Aid
Choose one of three options for receiving RIP updates:
rip1OrRip2—accepts RIPv1 or RIPv2 updates
rip1—accepts RIPv1 updates only
rip2—accepts RIPv2 updates only
The following table describes the four RIP send modes that the switch supports. You can configure RIP send modes on all router interfaces.
Send mode |
Description |
Result |
---|---|---|
rip1Compatible |
Broadcasts RIPv2 updates using RFC1058 route consumption rules. This is the default mode. |
|
ripVersion1 |
Broadcasts RIP updates that are compliant with RFC1058 |
|
ripVersion2 |
Broadcasts multicast RIPv2 updates |
|
doNotSend |
Does not send RIP updates on the interface |
None |
