Quick Steps for Configuring RIP Routing
To forward packets to a device on a different VLAN, you must create a router port on each VLAN. To
route packets using RIP, you must enable RIP and create a RIP interface on the router port. The following
steps show you how to enable RIP routing between VLANs “from scratch”. If active VLANs and router
ports have already been created on the switch, go to Step 7.
1Create VLAN 1 with a description (e.g., VLAN 1) using the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 1 name “VLAN 1”
2Create VLAN 2 with a description (e.g., VLAN 2) using the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 2 name “VLAN 2”
3Assign an active port to VLAN 1 using the vlan port default command. For example, the following
command assigns port 1 on slot 1 to VLAN 1:
-> vlan 1 port default 1/1
4Assign an active port to VLAN 2 using the vlan port default command. For example, the following
command assigns port 2 on slot 1 to VLAN 2:
-> vlan 2 port default 1/2
5Configure an IP interface to enable IP routing on a VLAN by using ip interface. For example:
-> ip interface vlan-1 address 171.10.1.1 vlan 1
6Configure an IP interface to enable IP routing on a VLAN by using ip interface. For example:
-> ip interface vlan-2 address 171.11.1.1 vlan 2
7Load RIP into switch memory using the ip load rip command. For example:
-> ip load rip
8Enable RIP on the switch using the ip rip status command. For example:
-> ip rip status enable
9Create a RIP interface on VLAN 1 using the ip rip interface command. For example:
-> ip rip interface 171.10.1.1
10Enable the RIP interface using the ip rip interface status command. For example:
-> ip rip interface 171.10.1.1 status enable
11Create a RIP interface on VLAN 2 using the ip rip interface command. For example:
-> ip rip interface 171.11.1.1
12Enable the RIP interface using the ip rip interface status command. For example:
-> ip rip interface 171.11.1.1 status enable
13Enable redistribution of local routes on the switch using the ip rip redist command. For example:
-> ip rip redist local
