5.2.4 Networks

Submenu level: /routing rip network

Description

To start the RIP protocol, you have to define the networks on which RIP will run.

Property Description

network (IP address mask; default: 0.0.0.0/0) - specifies the network on which RIP will run. Only directly connected networks of the router may be specified

￿

For point-to-point links you should specify the remote endpoint IP address as the network IP address. For this case the correct netmask will be /32.

Example

To enable RIP protocol on 10.10.1.0/24 network:

[admin@AT-WR4562] routing rip network> add network=10.10.1.0/24

[admin@AT-WR4562] routing rip network> print

# ADDRESS

0 10.10.1.0/24 [admin@AT-WR4562] routing rip>

5.2.5 Neighbors

Description

This submenu is used to define a neighboring routers to exchange routing information with. Normally there is no need to add the neighbors, if multicasting is working properly within the network. If there are problems with exchanging routing information, neighbor routers can be added to the list. It will force the router to exchange the routing information with the neighbor using regular unicast packets.

Property Description

address (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) - IP address of neighboring router

Example

To force RIP protocol to exchange routing information with the 10.0.0.1 router:

[admin@AT-WR4562] routing rip> neighbor add address=10.0.0.1

[admin@AT-WR4562] routing rip> neighbor print Flags: I - inactive

#ADDRESS

0 10.0.0.1

[admin@AT-WR4562] routing rip>

5.2.6 Routes

Submenu level: /routing rip route

Property Description

dst-address(read-only: IP address mask) - network address and netmask of destination

gateway (read-only: IP address) - last gateway on the route to destination

metric (read-only: integer) - distance vector length to the destination network

from (IP address) - specifies the IP address of the router from which the route was received
