Command Sets for Command Line Interface
Description:
Displays the RIP versions that will be accepted and sent on each
interface.
Example:
DSL> ip rip allowed
rip send ether 2
rip send vlane 2
rip accept ether 1 2
rip accept vlane 1 2
20. rip boot
Syntax:
rip boot
Description:
Broadcasts a request for RIP information from other machines.
TCP/IP does this automatically when it first starts up, and the
routing information should be kept up to date by regular broadcasts
from the other machines, so this command is normally of little use.
Example:
DSL> ip rip boot
21. rip hostroutes
Syntax:
rip hostroutes [off]
Description:
Sets or clears the “hostroutes” flag; TCP/IP will accept RIP routes
to individual hosts only if this flag is on. If the flag is off, then RIP
version 1 routes that appear to be to individual hosts will be treated
as if they were to the network containing the host; RIP version 2
routes to individual hosts will be ignored. (The reason for this
difference is that RIP version 1 does not allow specification of subnet
masks; a RIP version 1 route that appears to be to an individual host
might in fact be to a subnet, and treating it as a route to the whole
network may be the best way to make use of the information.) To see
the state of the flag without changing it, the “config” command
must be used.
Configuration saving saves this information. By default the
hostroutes” flag is off.
Example:
DSL> ip rip hostroutes off
