Configuring RIP for an IP Interface

Configuring RIP for an IP Interface

You can configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP) attributes on each IP interface. To configure RIP parameters and run RIP on an IP interface, use the following routing commands within the specific circuit IP mode. The default mode is to send RIP version 2 (v2) and receive either RIP or RIP2.

The timers used by RIP in the CSS include the following default values. These RIP timer values are not user-configurable in the CSS.

•Transmit (Tx) time that is a random value between 15 and 45 seconds to avoid router synchronization problems

•Route expiration time of 180 seconds (if the CSS loses the link to the next hop router, the route is immediately removed)

•Hold-down time (the amount of time the CSS transmits with an infinite metric) of 120 seconds

This section includes the following topics:

•Enabling RIP on an IP Interface

•Configuring a RIP Default Route

•Configuring a RIP Receive Version

•Configuring RIP Send Version

•Configuring RIP Packet Logging

•Showing RIP Configurations for IP Addresses

Enabling RIP on an IP Interface

To start running RIP on an IP interface, use the rip command. For example:

(config-circuit-ip[VLAN7-192.168.1.58)# rip

To stop running the RIP on the interface, enter:

(config-circuit-ip[VLAN7-192.168.1.58])# no rip
