3Com Switch 8800 Configuration Guide Chapter 18 RIP Configuration
18-3
If the link, which does not support broadcast or multicast packets, runs RIP, you need to
configure RIP to send any packet to the specified destination, establishing RIP
neighbors correctly.
In NBMA link networking through a Frame Relay sub-interface and others, to ensure
the routing information can be correctly transmitted, you possibly need to disable split
horizon.
2) RIP route management
You can make the following configurations for RIP to advertise and receive routing
information:
z Setting additional routing metric
z Configuring RIP to import routers of other protocols
z Configuring RIP route filtering
z Disabling host route
z Disabling RIP route aggregation
3) RIP configuration
z Configuring the RIP precedence
z Configuring RIP timers
z Configuring RIP-1 zero field check of the interface packet
z Specifying RIP version of the interface
4) Configuration related to security
You can select the following configurations to improve RIP security during exchanging
routing information, or control the area to transmit RIP packets.
z Setting RIP-2 packet authentication
z Specifying the operating state of the interface
18.2.1 Enabling RIP and Entering RIP View Perform the following configurations in system view.
Table 18-1 Enable RIP and enter RIP view
Operation Command
Enable RIP and enter the RIP view rip
Disable RIP undo rip
By default, RIP is not enabled.
18.2.2 Enabling RIP on the Specified Network Segment To flexibly control RIP operation, you can enable RIP on the specified network segment
so that the corresponding ports can receive and send RIP packets.
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.
