Chapter 11 Configuring Networking Protocols
Configuring RIP
To turn off the RIP routing process, use the no router rip global configuration command.
To display the parameters and current state of the active routing protocol process, use the show ip
protocols privileged EXEC command (Example 11-2).
Example 11-2 show ip protocols Command Output (Showing RIP Processes)
Router# show ip protocols
Routing Protocol is "rip"
Sending updates every 30 seconds, next due in 15 seconds
Invalid after 180 seconds, hold down 180, flushed after 240
Outgoing update filter list for all interfaces is not set
Incoming update filter list for all interfaces is not set
Redistributing: rip
Default version control: send version 1, receive any version
Interface Send Recv Triggered RIP Key-chain
FastEthernet0 1 1 2
POS0 1 1 2
Automatic network summarization is in effect
Maximum path: 4
Routing for Networks:
192.168.2.0
192.168.3.0
Routing Information Sources:
Gateway Distance Last Update
192.168.2.1 120 00:00:23
Distance: (default is 120)
Use the show ip rip database privileged EXEC command to display summary address entries in the RIP
database (Example 11-3).
Example 11-3 show ip rip database Command Output
Router# show ip rip database
192.168.1.0/24 auto-summary
192.168.1.0/24
[1] via 192.168.2.1, 00:00:24, POS0
192.168.2.0/24 auto-summary
192.168.2.0/24 directly connected, POS0
192.168.3.0/24 auto-summary
192.168.3.0/24 directly connected, FastEthernet0
RIP Authentication
RIP Version 1 does not support authentication. If you are sending and receiving RIP Version 2 packets,
you can enable RIP authentication on an interface. The key chain determines the set of keys that can be
used on the interface. If a key chain is not configured, no authentication is performed, not even the
default.
The switch supports two modes of authentication on interfaces for which RIP authentication is enab led:
plain text and message-digest key (MD5). The default is plain text.
Step 13 Router# show ip protocols Verifies your entries.
Step 14 Router# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
