Configuring RIP
This section describes how to enable and restart the RIP process on the ASA.
After you have enabled RIP, see the “Customizing RIP” section on page25-4 to learn how to customize
the RIP process on the ASA.
Note If you want to redistribute a route by defining which of the routes from the specified routing protocol are
allowed to be redistributed into the target routing process, you must first generate a default route. For
information, see the “Configuring a Default Static Route” section on page 22-4 and then define a route
map. For information, see the “Defining a Route Map” section on page23-4.

Enabling RIP

You can only enable one RIP routing process on the ASA. After you enable the RIP routing process, you
must define the interfaces that will participate in that routing process using the network command. By
default, the ASA sends RIP Version 1 updates and accepts RIP Version 1 and Version 2 updates.
To enable the RIP routing process, enter the following command:
