Configuring RIP

Configuring RIP Redistribution

You can configure the routing switch to redistribute connected and static routes into RIP. When you redistribute a route into RIP, the routing switch can use RIP to advertise the route to its RIP neighbors.

To configure redistribution, perform the following tasks:

1.Configure redistribution filters to permit or deny redistribution for a route based on the destination network address or interface. (optional)

2.Enable redistribution

Define RIP Redistribution Filters

Route redistribution imports and translates different protocol routes into a specified protocol type. On HP Series 5300XL Switches, redistribution is supported for static routes and directly connected routes only. Redistribution of any other routing protocol into RIP is not currently supported. When you configure redistribution for RIP, you can specify that static or connected routes are imported into RIP routes. Likewise, OSPF redistribution supports the import of static or connected routes into OSPF routes.

To configure for redistribution, define the redistribution tables with “restrict” redistribution filters. In the CLI, use the restrict command for RIP at the RIP router level.

Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution filters. Otherwise, the network might get overloaded with routes that you did not intend to redistribute.

Example: To configure the Series 5300XL Switch to filter out redistribution of static or connected routes on network 10.0.0.0, enter the following commands:

HPswitch(config)# router rip HPswitch(rip)# restrict 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 HPswitch(rip)# write memory

The default configuration permits redistribution for all default connected routes only.
