Defined RIP Addresses
Address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) (rip2IfConfAddress)Each IP Address in the table defines a single routing
domain in a single subnet for the T-DAC—to use when making RIP routing decisions.
Note
Each IP Address displayed in the RIP Version 2 table also functions
as a hyperlink to the RIP Version 2 Parameters window (see section
“RIP Version 2 (Configuration) window” on page 238). You can use
the RIP Version 2 Parameters window to view and modify the param-
eters for a single address.
Initially, because the T-DAC RIP Version 2 table is empty, the RIP Version 2 main window will not display
any address hyperlinks. You can use the Adding a RIP Address table to add one more IP addresses to the T-
DAC RIP Version 2 table (see Adding a RIP address). Once you have defined a RIP version 2 address, that
address will appear in the table. To view the configurable parameters for an address, click on the Address
hyperlink under the Address column to display the RIP Version 2 Parameters window (see “RIP Version 2
Statistics” on page 237).
Send (rip2IfConfSend)—Send is what the router sends on this interface. ripVersion 1 implies sending RIP
updates compliant with RFC 1058 rip1Compatible(3), and ripVersion2(4). The following options are available:
- doNotSend(1)
- ripVersion1(2)
- rip1Compatible (3)—rip1Compatible implies broadcasting RIP-2 updates using RFC 1058 route sub-
sumption rules
- ripVersion2 (4)—ripVersion2 implies multicasting RIP-2 updates
Receive (rip2IfConfReceive)—This indicates which version of RIP updates are to be accepted.
- rip1 (1)
- rip2 (2)
- rip1OrRip2 (3)
- doNotRecieve (4)
Note
Options rip2 and rip1OrRip2 imply reception of multicast packets.
Define a New RIP Address
To add a RIP address to the T-DAC’s RIP Version 2 table, do the following:
1. Enter the IP network address of the interface on the T-DAC that you want to enable RIP. This will be the
LAN IP address, in other words, the IP address of the T-DAC. This is not the IP address of the device you
want to direct RIP packets to.
2. Enter the protocol version to be used for sending RIP packets. The following choices are available:
doNotSend (1)
ripVersion1 (2)—ripVersion 1 implies sending RIP updates compliant with RFC 1058
