4 Command Line Interface Protocol Configuration Guide
Table 2-1. Optional RIP Tasks and Commands
Task Command Parameter
Router:RIP Mode
Define the neighboring peer
router(s) with which to
exchange routing information.
Note:
Adding one or more RIP
neighbors ensures that the
router only accepts
information from these
neighbors. Consequently, all
other information is filtered.
Do not create RIP
neighbor(s) if you do not
want to filter RIP
information from the
network.
neighbor
ip-address ip-address - IP address of a peer
router with which to
exchange routing information.
Change the interpacket delay for
RIP updates. The default is
no
delay
(0 milliseconds).
This command is useful when a
high-end router is sending at
high-speed to a low-speed
router.
output-delay
milliseconds
milliseconds - the delay
between packets in a
multiple-packet RIP update.
The range is
8
to
50
milliseconds.
Globally enable/disable the use
of RIP triggered updates. The
default is disabled.
triggered updates
no triggered updates
None
Interface Configuration Mode
When an interface is
receiving/sending RIP Version 2
packets, specify the
authentication password and
mode. The default
authentication mode is
text
.
ip rip authentication
key password
ip rip authentication
mode
{
text
|
md5
}
password - a string of up to 16
characters that represents the
authentication password used
on the interface.
text
- clear text
authentication. This method is
suggested when security is not
an issue.
md5
- keyed MD5
authentication.
Enable/disable split-horizon
with poison reverse. By default,
split horizon with poison reverse
is enabled on all interfaces.
ip rip poison-reverse
no ip rip
poison-reverse
None
