Neighbors

Description
This submenu is used to define a neighboring routers to exchange routing information with.
Normally there is no need to add the neighbors, if multicasting is working properly within the
network. If there are problems with exchanging routing information, neighbor routers can be added
to the list. It will force the router to exchange the routing information with the neighbor using
regular unicast packets.
Property Description
address ( IP address ; default: 0.0.0.0 ) - IP address of neighboring router
Example
To force RIP protocol to exchange routing information with the 10.0.0.1 router:
[admin@MikroTik] routing rip> neighbor add address=10.0.0.1
[admin@MikroTik] routing rip> neighbor print
Flags: I - inactive
# ADDRESS
0 10.0.0.1
[admin@MikroTik] routing rip>
