example, you might want to increase the cost of an interface that uses a slow
link so that, given the choice, RIP uses the interface to a faster, less costly link.
The default cost for each interface is 1. Do not increase this value on an
interface unless you want to discourage its use as an eligible routing path.
When choosing an IP routing protocol, consider the following guidelines:
If the IP internetwork is small and uses no routing protocol besides RIP,
continue using RIP.
To configure RIP on the router, see
However, if the network will continue to grow and perhaps become part
of a larger IP internetwork, you should consider migrating the network
from RIP to OSPF.
If the internetwork uses variable-length subnets or has third-party routers
that support RIP II, use RIP II or OSPF.
To configure RIP II, see
OSPF, see "Configuring OSPF" on page
If the internetwork has some third-party routers that support RIP II and
others that do not, use RIP I and RIP II.
For instructions on enabling RIP I and RIP II simultaneously on a
network interface, see
If you are currently building a large IP internetwork, use OSPF.
You can also run RIP and OSPF concurrently; for more information, see
"Configuring OSPF" on page
To enable RIP routing on the router and to configure RIP on a network
interface, do the following:
1
Load INETCFG and then select Protocols > TCP/IP
2
Make sure RIP routing is enabled globally by setting the RIP field to
Enabled.
This is the default setting.
If you want to disable RIP routing on a single interface, set the Status
parameter in the RIP bind options to Disabled. This action is described in
Step 3.
3
Press Esc twice to return to the Internetworking Configuration menu and
then select Bindings > an existing binding > RIP Bind Options.
