Configuring a RIP Network

RIP Overview

RIP Traffic Control with Metrics

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol that routes
packets within a single autonomous system (AS). To use RIP, you must understand
the basic components of a RIP network and configure the J-series Services Router to
act as a node in the network.
NOTE: The J-series Services Router supports only RIP version 1 and RIP version 2.
Unless otherwise specified, the term RIP in this chapter refers to these versions
of the protocol.
You can use either J-Web Quick Configuration or a configuration editor to configure
a RIP network.
This chapter contains the following topics. For more information about RIP, see the
JUNOS Routing Protocols Configuration Guide.

To achieve basic connectivity between all RIP hosts in a RIP network, you
need only enable RIP on every interface that is expected to transmit and
receive RIP traffic. To do so, you define RIP groups, which are logical
groupings of interfaces, and add interfaces to those groups. No additional
configuration is required to pass traffic on a RIP network.
To tune a RIP network and control traffic flowing through the network, you modify
the incoming and outgoing metric attributes, which are set to
attributes manually specify the metric on any route that is advertised through that
by default. These
