network

To enable RIP on a primary IP network or a secondary IP network or an unnumbered VLAN interface / router port, use the command network in RIP Router Configuration Mode. It configures a list of networks for the RIP routing process. RIP routing updates will be sent and received only through the specified interfaces on this network. If an interface's network is not specified, then the network will not be advertised in any RIP update. This should be configurable for Primary and Secondary IP address. The no form of the command disables RIP on a primary IP network or a secondary IP network or an unnumbered VLAN interface / router port

network

network { <ip-address> } { [unnum } { {vlan } { <vlan-id/vfi-id> } { [switch } { <switch name>] }
{ | <iftype> } { <ifnum>}] } { }

no network

no network { <ip-address> } { [unnum } { {vlan } { <vlan-id/vfi-id> } { [switch } { <switch name>] } { | <iftype> } { <ifnum>}] } { }

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
<ip-address>   Enter to configure the IP network address of the interface that is to be associated with RIP routing process. This can be either Primary or Secondary IP address.
  • The network IP address specified must not contain any subnet information. RIP routing updates will be sent and received only through interfaces on this network.
  • The Primary IP address should be same as that of the existing VLAN interface / router port.
  • The Secondary IP address should be same as that of the existing VLAN interface / router port
unnum   Enter for unnumbered interface to be used.
vlan   Enter to configure the unnumbered VLAN / VFI ID that is to be associated with RIP routing process.
<vlan-id/vfi-id> Integer Enter a VLAN ID for unnumbered VLAN / VFI ID that is to be associated with RIP routing process. This value ranges from 1 to 65535.
  • <vlan –id> - VLAN ID is a unique value that represents the specific VLAN. This value ranges from 1 to 4094.
  • <vfi-id> - VFI ID is a VLAN created in the system which contains Pseudo wires and Attachment Circuits as member ports. This creates a logical LAN for the VPLS service. This value ranges from 4096 to 65535.
switch   Enter to configure the switch context for the unnumbered VLAN ID.
<switch-name>   Enter a switch name. Currently is default.
<iftype>   Enter to configure the type of unnumbered router interface that is to be associated with RIP routing process. The interface can be:
  • fastethernet – Officially referred to as 100BASE-T standard. This is a version of LAN standard architecture that supports data transfer up to 100 Megabits per second.
  • gigabitethernet – A version of LAN standard architecture that supports data transfer up to 1 Gigabit per second.
  • extreme-ethernet – A version of Ethernet that supports data transfer up to 10 Gigabits per second. This Ethernet supports only full duplex links.
  • i-lan / internal-lan – Internal LAN created on a bridge per IEEE 802.1ap.
  • port-channel – Logical interface that represents an aggregator which contains several ports aggregated together.
<ifnum>   Enter to configure the unnumbered router interface identifier. This is a unique value that represents the specific interface that is to be associated with RIP routing process. This value is a combination of slot number and port number separated by a slash, for interface type other than i-lan and port-channel. For example: 0/1 represents that the slot number is 0 and port number is 1. Only i-lan or port-channel ID is provided, for interface types i-lan and port-channel. For example: 1 represents i-lan or port-channel ID.
