RIP limitations
Configuration of RIPv1 and RIPv2 is per IP interface. Configuration must be homogeneous on
all routers on each subnetwork. That is, RIPv1 and RIPv2 routers should not be configured on
the same subnetwork. However, you can configure different IP interfaces of the G250/G350 with
different RIP versions. This configuration is valid as long as all routers on the subnet are
configured with the same version.
RIPv2 and RIPv1 are considered the same protocol with regard to redistribution to and from
OSPF and static route preferences.
RIP commands
Use the following commands to configure RIP. For more information about these commands,
see Avaya G250 and Avaya G350 CLI Reference, 03-300437.
Use the default-metric command to set the interface RIP route metric value. Use the
●
no form of this command to restore the default value.
Use the distribution-list command to apply a distribution policy rule for incoming or
●
outgoing routing information in route updates. Use the no form of this command to
deactivate the rule.
Use the ip rip authentication key command to set the authentication string used
●
on the interface. Use the no form of this command to clear the password.
Use the ip rip authentication mode command to specify the type of authentication
●
used in RIP Version 2 packets. Use the no form of this command to restore the default
value, none.
Use the ip rip default-route-mode command to enable learning of the default
●
route received by the RIP protocol. The default state is talk-listen. Use the no form of this
command to disable listening to default routes.
Use the ip rip poison-reverse command to enable split-horizon with poison-reverse
●
on an interface. Use the no form of this command to disable the poison-reverse
mechanism.
Use the ip rip rip-version command to specify the RIP version running on the
●
interface.
Use the ip rip send-receive-mode command to set the RIP send and receive
●
modes on an interface. Use the no form of this command to set the RIP to talk, that is, to
send reports.
Use the ip rip split-horizon command to enable the split-horizon mechanism. Use
●
the no form of this command to disable the split-horizon mechanism. By default
split-horizon is enabled.
