Specifying The Receive Rip Version; Enabling Rip Learning - Patton electronics SmartWare R.3.20 Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide

Specifying the receive RIP version

By default, RIP version 1 and version 2 packets are received. Alternatively, you can explicitly configure the RIP
version to be received with the last command argument as following:
• 1—to receive RIP version 1 packets
• 1or2—to receive RIP version 1 and version 2 packets
• 2—to receive RIP version 2 packets
This procedure describes how to set receiving RIP version on an interface
Mode: Interface
Step
node (if-ip)[ name ]# rip receive version {1 | 1or2 | 2} Selects receive RIP version for interface
1
Example: Specifying the receive RIP
The following example shows how to select receive RIP version 1or2 on IP interface wan.
node(cfg)#context ip router
node(ctx-ip)[router]#interface wan
node(if-ip)[wan]#rip receive version 1or2

Enabling RIP learning

A new route is added to the local routing table, if the routing update contains a route to a destination that does
not already exist. If the update describes a route whose destination is already in the local table, the new route is
used only if it has a lower cost. The cost of a route is determined by adding the cost of reaching the gateway
that sent the update to the metric contained in the RIP update packet. If the total metric is less than the metric
of the current route, the new route is used. Two RIP learning mechanisms are offered, which are represented by
a specific argument of the command
• host—for RIP learn host and
• default—for RIP learn default
See the following sections on how to configure those two RIP learning mechanisms.
This procedure describes how to enable accepting of IP host and default routes received on an interface for
RIP learning
Mode: Interface
Step Command
node (if-ip)[ name ]# rip learn host
1
node (if-ip)[ name ]#rip learn default Enables learning using a default route advertised by an RIP
2
