Configuring RDP

Quick Steps for Configuring RDP

Configuring RDP involves enabling RDP operation on the switch and creating RDP interfaces to adver-
tise VLAN router IP addresses on the LAN. There is no order of configuration involved. For example, it is
possible to create RDP interfaces even if RDP is not enabled on the switch.
The following steps provide a quick tutorial on how to configure RDP. Each step describes a specific
operation and provides the CLI command syntax for performing that operation.
1 Enable RDP operation on the switch.
-> ip router-discovery enable
Note. Optional. To verify the global RDP configuration for the switch, enter the
ery command. The display is similar to the one shown below:
-> show ip router-discovery
Status
RDP uptime
#Packets Tx
#Packets Rx
#Send Errors
#Recv Errors
For more information about this command, refer to the "RDP Commands" chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI
Reference Guide.
2 Create an RDP interface for an IP router interface. In this example, an RDP interface is created for the
IP router interface named Marketing (note that IP interfaces are referenced by their name):
-> ip router-discovery interface Marketing enable
3 When an RDP interface is created, default values are set for the interface advertisement destination
address, transmission interval, lifetime, and preference level parameters. If you want to change the
default values for these parameters, see
tion.
Note. Optional. To verify the RDP configuration for all RDP interfaces, enter the
show ip router-discovery interface
-> show ip router-discovery interface
Name
---------------------+--------+--------+--------------+----+----------
Marketing
Finance IP Network
Accounting
To verify the configuration for a specific RDP interface, specify the interface IP router interface name
when using the show ip router-discovery interface command. The display is similar to the one shown
below.
