Configuring RIP

Parameter

Description

Default

 

 

 

IP address

The routes that a routing switch learns or advertises

The routing switch

 

can be controlled.

learns and

 

 

advertises all RIP

 

 

routes on all RIP

 

 

interfaces

loop

The method the routing switch uses to prevent routing

Poison reverse

prevention

loops caused by advertising a route on the same

 

 

interface as the one on which the routing switch

 

 

learned the route.

 

 

Split horizon - the routing switch does not

 

 

advertise a route on the same interface as the one

 

 

on which the routing switch learned the route.

 

 

Poison reverse - the routing switch assigns a cost

 

 

of 16 (“infinite” or “unreachable”) to a route before

 

 

advertising it on the same interface as the one on

 

 

which the routing switch learned the route.

 

receive

Define the RIP version for incoming packets

V2-only

send

Define the RIP version for outgoing packets

V2-only

 

 

 

 

Configuring RIP Parameters

 

Use the following procedures to configure RIP parameters on a system-wide

 

and individual VLAN interface basis.

 

Enabling RIP

 

RIP is disabled by default. To enable it, use one of the following methods.

 

When you enable RIP, the default RIP version is RIPv2-only. You can change

 

the RIP version on an individual interface basis to RIPv1 or

 

RIPv1-compatible-v2 if needed.

 

To enable RIP on a routing switch, enter the following commands:

 

HPswitch(config)# ip routing

 

HPswitch(config)# router rip

 

HPswitch(config-rip-router)# exit

 

HPswitch(config)# write memory

 

Syntax: [no] router rip

 

 

N o t e

IP routing must be enabled prior to enabling RIP. The first command in the

 

sequence above enables IP routing on the Series 5300XL Switch.
