Chapter 38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing

Configuring RIP

To turn off the RIP routing process, use the no router rip global configuration command.

To display the parameters and current state of the active routing protocol process, use the show ip
protocols
privileged EXEC command. To display summary address entries in the RIP database, use the
show ip rip database privileged EXEC command.

Configuring RIP Authentication

RIP Version 1 does not support authentication. If you are sending and receiving RIP Version 2 packets,
you can enable RIP authentication on an interface. The key chain specifies the set of keys that can be
used on the interface. If a key chain is not configured, no authentication is performed, not even the
default. Therefore, you must also perform the tasks in the

“Managing Authentication Keys” section on

page 38-105

.

The switch supports these modes of authentication on interfaces for which RIP authentication is enabled:
plain text and MD5. The default is plain text.

Step 8

version {1 | 2}

(Optional) Configure the switch to receive and send only RIP Version 1
or RIP Version 2 packets. By default, the switch receives Version 1 and
Version 2 but sends only Version 1.

You can also use the interface commands ip rip {send | receive} version
1
| 2 | 1 2} to control what versions are used for sending and receiving on
interfaces.

Step 9

no auto summary

(Optional) Disable automatic summarization. By default, the switch
summarizes subprefixes when crossing classful network boundaries.
Disable summarization (only RIP Version 2) to advertise subnet and host
routing information to classful network boundaries.

Step 10

no validate-update-source

(Optional) Disable validation of the source IP address of incoming RIP
routing updates. By default, the switch validates the source IP address of
incoming RIP routing updates and discards the update if the source
address is not valid. Under normal circumstances, we do not recommend
that you disable this feature. However, if you have a router that is
off-network and you want to receive its updates, you can use this
command.

Step 11

output-delay delay

(Optional) Add interpacket delay for RIP updates sent.

By default, packets in a multiple-packet RIP update have no delay time
added between packets. If you are sending packets to a lower-speed
device, you can add an interpacket delay in the range of 8 to
50 milliseconds.

Step 12

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 13

show ip protocols

Verify your entries.

Step 14

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
