Implementation InformationDell Networking OS supports both versions of RIP and allows you to configure one version globally andthe other version on interfaces or both versions on the interfaces.The following table lists the defaults for RIP in Dell Networking OS.Table 43. RIP DefaultsFeature DefaultInterfaces running RIP • Listen to RIPv1 and RIPv2• Transmit RIPv1RIP timers • update timer = 30 seconds• invalid timer = 180 seconds• holddown timer = 180 seconds• flush timer = 240 secondsAuto summarization EnabledECMP paths supported 16Configuration InformationBy default, RIP is disabled in Dell Networking OS.To configure RIP, you must use commands in two modes: ROUTER RIP and INTERFACE. Commandsexecuted in the ROUTER RIP mode configure RIP globally, while commands executed in the INTERFACEmode configure RIP features on that interface only.RIP is best suited for small, homogeneous networks. You must configure all devices within the RIPnetwork to support RIP if they are to participate in the RIP.Configuration Task ListThe following is the configuration task list for RIP.• Enabling RIP Globally (mandatory)• Configure RIP on Interfaces (optional)• Controlling RIP Routing Updates (optional)• Setting Send and Receive Version (optional)• Generating a Default Route (optional)• Controlling Route Metrics (optional)• Summarize Routes (optional)• Controlling Route Metrics• Debugging RIPFor a complete listing of all commands related to RIP, refer to the Dell Networking OS CommandReference Interface Guide.670 Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
