Ethernet Connection (Cisco to Router)

Routers and Cisco routers can easily share an Ethernet connection. Cisco routers use the IGRP protocol to exchange routing information with other routers. In order for a Cisco router to learn routes from the Router, both the Cisco router and the Router must have RIP enabled.

To enable RIP on the Cisco router, log into the Cisco router and issue the following commands to change from Cisco’s global configure mode:

[configure] router rip network x.x.x.x neighbor y.y.y.y

passive-interface ethernet 0

Specify the Router’s Ethernet address in a neighbor statement in the router rip section.

In IP and IPX networks, the Router enables RIP by default.
