AI2524 RIP TCP/ IP Configuration

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) uses broadcast User Datagram Protocol (UDP) data packets to exchange routing information.

The Cisco IOS software sends routing information updates (advertise- ments) every 30 seconds. If a router does not receive an update from another router for 180 seconds or more, it marks the routes served by the nonupdating router as being unusable. If there is still no update after 240 seconds, the router removes all routing table entries for the nonupdating router.

RIP sends updates to the interfaces in the specified networks. If an in- terface's network is not specified, it will not be advertised in any RIP update.

RIP Configuration Task List

To configure RIP, complete the tasks outlined in the nest sections. You must enable RIP. The remaining tasks are optional.

zEnable RIP

zAllow Point-to-Point Updates for RI

zSpecify a RIP Version

zEnable RIP Authentication

zDisable Route Summarization

zRun IGRP and RIP Concurrently

zDisable the Validation of Source IP Addresses

Enable RIP

To enable RIP, perform these tasks, starting in global configuration mode:

1.Enable a RIP routing process, which places you in router configu- ration mode.

router rip

2.Associate a network with a RIP routing process. network network-number

Allow Point-to-Point Updates for RIP

RIP is normally a broadcast protocol. Therefore, for RIP routing up- dates to reach point-to-point or nonbroadcast networks, you must con- figure the Cisco IOS software to permit this exchange of routing
