Specifying Networks That Will Participate In Rip - HP ProCurve Secure Router 7203 dl Advanced Management And Configuration Manual

For example:
ProCurve(config)# interface eth 0/1
ProCurve(config-eth 0/1)# ip rip send version 1
ProCurve(config-eth 0/1)# ip rip receive version 1
If the router connects to an external network (for example, an ISP), you should
implement RIP v2, which can act as an EGP. If your local network uses RIP
v1, you could enable RIP v1 as the global version and then configure the WAN
interface to send and receive RIP v2.

Specifying Networks That Will Participate in RIP

You enable an interface to exchange routes with other RIP devices by adver-
tising the network on which that interface has its address. Enter this command
from the RIP configuration mode context:
Syntax: network <A.B.C.D> <subnet mask>
You must enter a subnet mask, not a prefix length, in the network command.
RIP does not support CIDR notation. Also, remember to enter a subnet mask
and not wildcard bits.
This command both:
enables all RIP interfaces to advertise the network
enables RIP on the interface that has an address on that network
After you enter the network command, the interface on the specified network
sends updates that include the entire RIP routing table:
a route to every network specified with the network command
all routes discovered by RIP
On the ProCurve Secure Router, all directly connected routes are not auto-
matically redistributed into RIP. If you want the router to advertise a network
on which it does not implement RIP, you must enter the redistribute con-
nected command. See "Redistributing Connected Routes" on page 13-23.
For a typical RIP network, you would advertise all directly connected net-
works, including the network through which the router makes its WAN
connection. This enables the WAN interface to advertise local networks to,
and to receive routes from, the remote router.
