Chapter 3 Basic Router Configuration

Configuring Dynamic Routes

Configuring Dynamic Routes

In dynamic routing, the network protocol adjusts the path automatically, based on network traffic or topology. Changes in dynamic routes are shared with other routers in the network.

The Cisco routers can use IP routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), to learn routes dynamically. You can configure either of these routing protocols on your router.

Configuring Routing Information Protocol

To configure the RIP routing protocol on the router, perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.router rip

2.version {1 2}

3.network ip-address

4.no auto-summary

5.end

 

DETAILED STEPS

 

 

 

 

 

Command

Task

 

 

 

Step 1

router rip

Enters router configuration mode, and enables RIP

 

Example:

on the router.

 

 

 

Router> configure terminal

 

 

Router(config)# router rip

 

 

Router(config-router)#

 

 

 

 

Step 2

version {1 2}

Specifies use of RIP version 1 or 2.

 

Example:

 

 

Router(config-router)# version 2

 

 

Router(config-router)#

 

 

 

 

Step 3

network ip-address

Specifies a list of networks on which RIP is to be

 

 

applied, using the address of the network of each

 

Example:

directly connected network.

 

Router(config-router)# network 192.168.1.1

 

 

Router(config-router)# network 10.10.7.1

 

 

Router(config-router)#
