Configuring RIP

This display shows the following information.

Table 7.3: CLI Display of RIP Filter Information

This Field...

Displays...

 

 

Route filters

The rows underneath “RIP Route Filter Table” list the RIP route filters. If no RIP route filters are configured on the device, the following message is displayed instead: “No Filters are configured in RIP Route Filter Table”.

Index

The filter number. You assign this number when you configure the

 

filter.

 

 

Action

The action the router takes if a RIP route packet matches the IP

 

address and sub-net mask of the filter. The action can be one of the

 

following:

 

• deny – RIP route packets that match the address and network

 

mask information in the filter are dropped. If applied to an

 

interface’s outbound filter group, the filter prevents the router

 

from advertising the route on that interface. If applied to an

 

interface’s inbound filter group, the filter prevents the router from

 

adding the route to its IP route table.

 

• permit – RIP route packets that match the address and network

 

mask information are accepted. If applied to an interface’s

 

outbound filter group, the filter allows the router to advertise the

 

route on that interface. If applied to an interface’s inbound filter

 

group, the filter allows the router to add the route to its IP route

 

table.

 

 

Route IP Address

The IP address of the route’s destination network or host.

 

 

Subnet Mask

The network mask for the IP address.

 

 

Neighbor filters

The rows underneath “RIP Neighbor Filter Table” list the RIP neighbor filters. If no RIP neighbor filters are configured on the device, the following message is displayed instead: “No Filters are configured in RIP Neighbor Filter Table”.

Index

The filter number. You assign this number when you configure the

 

filter.

 

 

 

Action

The action the router takes for RIP route packets to or from the

 

specified neighbor:

 

•

deny – If the filter is applied to an interface’s outbound filter

 

 

group, the filter prevents the router from advertising RIP

 

 

routes to the specified neighbor on that interface. If the filter

 

 

is applied to an interface’s inbound filter group, the filter

 

 

prevents the router from receiving RIP updates from the

 

 

specified neighbor.

 

•

permit – If the filter is applied to an interface’s outbound filter

 

 

group, the filter allows the router to advertise RIP routes to

 

 

the specified neighbor on that interface. If the filter is applied

 

 

to an interface’s inbound filter group, the filter allows the

 

 

router to receive RIP updates from the specified neighbor.

 

 

Neighbor IP Address

The IP address of the RIP neighbor.
