Neighbor; Distance - Enterasys Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Manual

Configuring RIP
Example
This example shows how to attach network 192.168.1.0 to the RIP routing process:
Matrix>Router(config)#router rip
Matrix>Router(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0

neighbor

Use this command to instruct the router to send unicast RIP information to an IP address.
Syntax
neighbor ip-address
no neighbor ip-address
Parameters
ip‐address
Defaults
None.
Mode
Router command, Router configuration: Matrix>Router(config‐router)#
Usage
RIP is normally a broadcast protocol. In order for RIP routing updates to reach nonbroadcast
networks, the neighbor's IP address must be configured to permit the exchange of routing
information.
The "no" form of this command disables point‐to‐point routing exchanges.
Example
This example shows how to instruct the system to exchange routing information with neighbor
192.5.10.1:
Matrix>Router(config)#router rip
Matrix>Router(config-router)#neighbor 192.5.10.1

distance

Use this command to configure the administrative distance for RIP routes.
Syntax
distance weight
no distance [weight]
21-4 Routing Protocol Configuration
