Configuring RIP Interfaces

To configure RIP in the SSR, you must first add interfaces to inform RIP about attached interfaces.

To add RIP interfaces, enter the following commands in Configure mode.

Add interfaces to the RIP

rip add interface <interfacename-or-IPaddr>

process.

 

 

 

Add gateways from which

rip add trusted-gateway<interfacename-or-IPaddr>

the SSR will accept RIP

 

updates.

 

 

 

Define the list of routers to

rip add source-gateway<interfacename-or-IPaddr>

which RIP sends packets

 

directly, not through

 

multicast or broadcast.

 

 

 

Configuring RIP Parameters

No further configuration is required, and the system default parameters will be used by RIP to exchange routing information. These default parameters may be modified to suit your needs by using the rip set interface command.
