Hitachi GR2000 Network Router User Manual


 
When you replace the existing router (other than GR2000) with this router, pay
attention to possible deviation of RIP-1 implementation. For example, the followin
routershavedifferentimplementationsofRIP-1:Hitachis NP200, NP150, NP100
NP120C, and Cisco Systemsrouters.
When an interface address is further divided into subnets, GR2000 does not crea
natural mask route (network route for the subject interface). Instead, it creates a
subnet route with broadcast connection and a host route with point-to-point
connection. Since RIP-1 does not advertise a subnet route that exceeds the
addressing boundary, aggregation specifying with the configuration definition is
required on GR2000.
A different implementation of RIP-1 may automatically aggregate subnet routes t
network route, and an aggregated route is usually not registered in the forwardin
table. On GR2000, the aggregated route is by default registered in the forwarding
tableastheactiveroute.
In order to attain compatible operation on GR2000 with such a device with differ
RIP-1 implementation, the
noinstall option setting is required for the aggregate definit
in the configuration information. Figure 4-12 illustrates a sample network
configuration requiring the
noinstall option setting.
