Enabling RIP on IP Network

Refer to the Section 3.1 for Configuration Guidelines and Figure Topology 1 for Testing iS5Com RIP for the Setup. The prerequisite configuration needs to be done in the switches (ISS 1 and ISS 2) before configuring RIP.

  1. To disable RIP in the switch ISS, execute the following commands.

    Type the following:

    • Enter the Global Configuration Mode in ISS1.
    iS5comm# configure terminal
    • Enable RIP globally in the switch ISS1.
    iS5comm(config)# router rip
    • Enable RIP over the interface VLAN 1 (IP address 10.0.0.1/16.
    iS5comm(config-router)# network 10.0.0.1
    • Exit to the Global Configuration Mode.
    iS5comm(config-router)# exit
  2. View the RIP interface using the following command.

    Type the following:

    iS5comm# show ip rip statistics
    RIP Global Statistics:
    ----------------------
    Total number of route changes is 0
    Total number of queries responded is 0
    Total number of periodic updates sent is 11
    Total number of dropped packets is 0
    RIP Interface Statistics:
    -------------------------
    Interface   Periodic      BadRoutes   Triggered      BadPackets   Admin
    IP Address  Updates Sent  Received    Updates Sent   Received     Status
    ----------- ------------  ---------   ------------   ----------   ------
    10.0.0.1      11             0            0              0       Enabled
  3. View the RIP route.

    Type the following:

    iS5comm# show ip rip database
    10.0.0.0/8[1]     summary route
    10.0.0.0/16        directly connected, vlan1
    Note:

    RIP can be enabled on Pseudowire (PW) interface similarly to RIP on router port. RIP can be enabled on Secondary IP Address configured on Interface Level.
