Specifying Network Interfaces for RIP

You must specify network interfaces that will be included in the RIP routing process.

Command Usage

•RIP only sends updates to interfaces specified by this command.

•Subnet addresses are interpreted as class A, B or C, based on the first field in the specified address. In other words, if a subnet address nnn.xxx.xxx.xxx is entered, the first field (nnn) determines the class:

•0 - 127 is class A, and only the first field in the network address is used.

•128 - 191 is class B, and the first two fields in the network address are used.

•192 - 223 is class C, and the first three fields in the network address are used.

Command Attributes

•Subnet Address – IP address of a network directly connected to this router.
