Enabling Rip On The Specified Network Segment - Huawei S6700 Series Configuration Manual

S6700 Series Ethernet Switches
Configuration Guide - IP Routing
Context
If you run RIP-related commands in the interface view before enabling RIP, the configurations
take effect only after RIP is enabled.
Do as follows on the switch to be enabled with RIP:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
rip [ process-id ]
The RIP is enabled and the RIP view is displayed.
RIP supports multi-instance. To associate RIP processes with VPN instances, you can run the
rip [ process-id ] vpn-instance vpn-instance-name command.

2.3.3 Enabling RIP on the Specified Network Segment

After enabling RIP, you need to specify the network segment in which RIP runs. RIP runs only
on the interfaces on the specified network segment. RIP does not receive, send, or forward routes
on the interfaces that do not reside on the specified network segment.
Context
By default, after RIP is enabled, it is disabled on all interfaces.
Do as follows on the switch to be enabled with RIP.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
rip [ process-id ]

NOTE
For easy management and effective control, RIP supports multi-process and multi-instance. The multi-
process feature allows a set of interfaces to be associated with a specific RIP process and an interface can
be associated with only one RIP process. This ensures that the specific RIP process performs all the protocol
operations only on this set of interfaces. Thus, multiple RIP processes can work on a single router and each
process is responsible for a unique set of interfaces. In addition, the routing data is independent between
RIP processes; however, routes can be imported between processes.
For the routers that support the VPN, each RIP process is associated with a specific VPN instance. In this
case, all the interfaces attached to the RIP process should be associated with the RIP-process-related VPN
instance.
