Configuring RIP
19
Route redistribution – You can enable the software to redistribute static routes from the IP
route table into RIP. Redistribution is disabled by default.
Learning of default routes – The default is disabled.
Loop prevention (split horizon or poison reverse) – The default is poison reverse.
Enabling RIP
RIP is disabled by default. To enable it, use the following CLI method. You must enable the protocol
both globally and on the ports on which you want to use RIP.
To enable RIP globally, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#router rip
Syntax: [no] router rip
To enable RIP on a port and specify the RIP version, enter commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#interface ethernet 1
PowerConnect(config-if-e1000-1)#ip rip v1-only
This command changes the CLI to the configuration level for port 1 and enables RIP version 1 on
the interface. You must specify the version.
Syntax: interface ethernet <port>
Syntax: [no] ip rip v1-only | v1-compatible-v2 | v2-only
Specify the <port> variable in the following formats:
PowerConnect B-Series FCX stackable switches – <stack-unit/slotnum/portnum>
Enabling redistribution of IP static routes into RIP
By default, the software does not redistribute the IP static routes in the route table into RIP. To
configure redistribution, perform the following tasks:
Configure redistribution filters (optional). You can configure filters to permit or deny
redistribution for a route based on the route metric. You also can configure a filter to change
the metric. You can configure up to 64 redistribution filters. The software uses the filters in
ascending numerical order and immediately takes the action specified by the filter. Thus, if
filter 1 denies redistribution of a given route, the software does not redistribute the route,
regardless of whether a filter with a higher ID permits redistribution of that route.
NOTE
The default redistribution action is permit, even after you configure and apply a permit or deny
filter. To deny redistribution of specific routes, you must configure a deny filter.
NOTE
The option to set the metric is not applicable to static routes.
Enable redistribution.
NOTE
If you plan to configure redistribution filters, do not enable redistribution until you have
configured the filters.
