Rip Configuration Steps - Avaya 8600 Technical Configuration Manual

In regards to receiving RIP updates, there are three choices:
1. rip1OrRip2 – Accepts RIPv1 or RIPv2 updates
2. rip1 – Accepts RIPv1 updates only
3. rip2 – Accepts RIPv2 updates only
To configure the send mode, this is accomplished at the IP interface level using the following command:
config ip rip interface <IP address of interface> send-mode <notsend : rip1 :
rip1comp : rip2>
Example:
config ip rip 10.1.1.9 send-mode rip2
To configure the receive mode, this is accomplished at the IP interface level again using the following
command
config ip rip interface <IP address of interface> receive-mode <rip1 : rip2 :
rip1orrip2>
Example:
config ip rip interface 10.1.1.9 receive-mode rip2

3. RIP Configuration Steps

RIP can be configured on a VLAN or a brouter port basis. If configuring RIP on a VLAN, the following
steps are performed

Configure VLAN, add ports and STG group

Enable RIP

Disable supply RIP updates if required

Disable listen for RIP updates if required

**By default, RIP Split Horizon is enabled. By setting the Poison parameter to true, Poison
Reverse is enabled.

Enable Default Route Supply if a default route exists in the route table

Default Route listen can be enabled to add a default route to the route table if advertised from
another router

Add in or out Route Policy

Enable Triggered Updates if required

Cost of the link. Enter a value of 1 to 15 where 1 is default.
**If Split Horizon is invoked, IP routes learned from an immediate neighbor are not advertised back to the
neighbor. If Poison Reverse is enabled, the RIP updates sent to a neighbor from whom a route is learned
are "poisoned" with a metric of 16. Therefore, the receiver neighbor will ignore this route because the
metric 16 indicates infinite hops in the network. These mechanisms are used to prevent routing loops.
