rip daemon
Use this command to configure the RIP daemon to start then listen for RIP
messages on the WAN interface and uses that information to store routes in
a table.
For RIP to be effective, all routers in the network must support RIP version
1 or version 2. RIP version 2 is recommended. RIP v2 supports RIP v1
capabilities and also provides:
z Variable-Length Subnet Masks (VLSMs); support for next-hop addresses,
which allows route optimization in certain environments.
z Multicasting; multicasting, instead of broadcasting, reduces the load on
hosts that do not support routing protocols.
The BSGX4e is installed at the edge of the network and is intended to run
NAT. Thus, it only listens to RIP messages on its WAN interface; it does not
support RIP on its LAN interface.
Note: Use of a RIP daemon on the WAN interface can be a security risk.
Syntax config rip daemon started [no|yes] version [v1|v2]
Parameters started yes|no Enable/disable the RIP daemon. The default
value is no.
version v1|v2 Select the version of the RIP protocol to run (v1
| v2). The default value is v2.
