Configuring RIP
Command Line Interface Protocol Configuration Guide 2-3
This section describes how to configure RIP using the CLI. It also includes a configuration
example.
To create a basic RIP configuration:
1. Go to Global Configuration mode.
2. Enable RIP and enter Router:RIP mode.
Cajun (configure)#
router rip
Cajun (configure router:rip)#
3. Specify a list of networks for the RIP routing process. This sends RIP updates
to the interfaces in these networks. When an interface’s network is not
specified, it is not advertised in any RIP update.
4. Enter copy running-config startup-config to save the configuration. For
example:
Cajun (configure router:rip)#
copy running-config startup-config
Wrote running-config to '/nvram/startup.txt'
Cajun (configure router:rip)#
To configure optional RIP parameters, refer to the next section.
Table 2-1 lists the tasks and commands to configure additional RIP parameters.
