Displaying RIP
Interface Information
Setting the RIP Mode
An active router sends a RIP message every 30 seconds. This message
contains both the IP address and a metric (the distance to the destination
from that router) for each destination. In RIP, each router that a packet
must travel through to reach a destination equals one hop.
To display information about RIP interfaces on the module, enter the
following at the top-level menu:
ip rip display
The following example shows a RIP interface display:
You can select one of the following RIP modes on an interface:
Disabled — The module ignores all incoming RIP packets and does
not generate any RIP packets of its own.
Enabled — The module processes all incoming RIP packets, responds
to explicit requests for routing information, and broadcasts periodic
and triggered RIP updates.
Learn — The module processes all incoming RIP packets and responds
to explicit request for routing information, but it does not broadcast
periodic or triggered RIP updates.
Advertise — The module processes all incoming RIP packets and
advertises RIP routes to other routers but does not learn RIP routes
from other modules.
The default RIP mode is passive.
To set the RIP mode:
