Using the Telnet Console

To configure RIP

1.From the Main Menu, select Layer 3 - IP Networking Setup RIP Configurations and press Enter.

2.Using the space bar, toggle the RIP Status field to Enabled or Disabled. This function allows the RIP protocol to be turned on or off without changing the RIP setup.

3.Highlight APPLY and press Enter.

4.On the RIP Configurations menu, select RIP Interface Settings.

5.Configure these fields.

 

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Interface Name

Specifies the name of the IP interface on which RIP is to be set up. This

 

interface must be previously configured on the switch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Specifies which version of the RIP protocol will be used to transmit RIP

 

TX Mode

packets. This field toggles between Disabled, V1 Only, V1 Compatible,

 

 

and V2 Only. Disabled prevents the transmission of RIP packets.

 

 

 

 

 

Specifies which version of the RIP protocol will be used to interpret received

 

RX Mode

RIP packets. This field toggles between Disabled, V1 Only, V2 Only, and

 

 

V1 and V2. Disabled prevents the reception of RIP packets.

 

 

 

 

 

Enables or disables authentication between routers. When authentication is

 

Authentication

enabled, a password is used to authenticate communication between

 

routers on the network. Authentication is only supported when RIP is in V1

 

 

 

 

Compatible or V2 Only mode.

 

 

 

 

Password

Specifies the password to be used to authenticate communication between

 

routers on the network.

 

 

 

 

 

6. Highlight APPLY and press Enter.

Multicast Global Configurations

The Multicast Global Configurations screen is only for globally enabling or disabling the multicast routing protocols on the switch. Each VLAN or IP Interface uses these global values unless you configured it to use specialized settings. The protocol must be enabled globally before you can enable it on a specific VLAN or IP interface. (RIP is globally set up with the RIP Configuration option.)

To configure globally the multicast protocols

1.From the Main Menu, select Layer 3 - IP Networking Setup Multicast Global Configurations and press Enter.
