3Com Router 3000 Ethernet FamilyConfiguration Guide Chapter 3 RIP Configuration3Com Corporation3-15RFC2453-compliant packet format; and rfc2082, which supports theRFC2082-compliant packet format.3.2.16 Specifying the Operating State of the InterfaceIn interface view, you can specify the operating state of RIP on the interface. Forexample, whether RIP is enabled on the interface, namely, whether RIP update packetsare sent and received on the interface. You can also singly specify an interface to send(or receive) RIP update packet.Perform the following configuration in interface view.Table 3-18 Specify the Operating State of the InterfaceOperation CommandEnable RIP on an interface rip workDisable RIP on an interface undo rip workEnable an interface to receive RIPupdate packet rip inputDisable an interface to receive RIPupdate packet undo rip inputEnable an interface to send RIP updatepacket rip outputDisable an interface to send RIP updatepacket undo rip outputLike the undo rip work command in interface view, the undo network command inRIP view can disable an interface from receiving or transmitting RIP routes. They aredifferent in the sense that the undo rip work command does not prevent otherinterfaces from forwarding the route of the interface while the undo network canprevent RIP from advertising the route of the interface and as a result no route isavailable for forwarding the packets intended for this interface.Executing the rip work command is equivalent to executing the rip input and ripoutput commands.By default, an interface both receives and transmits RIP update packets.3.2.17 Configuring Multi-instance of RIPThe router supports the function RIP multiple instances and can support MPLS VPN.Perform the following configuration in RIP view.
