3-7Configuring RIP Basic FunctionsConfiguration PrerequisitesBefore configuring RIP basic functions, complete the following tasks.z Configure the link layer protocol.z Configure an IP address on each interface, and make sure all adjacent routers are reachable toeach other.Configuration ProcedureEnabling RIP and a RIP interfaceFollow these steps to enable RIP:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view ––Enable a RIP process and enterRIP viewrip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instancevpn-instance-name ]RequiredNot enabled by defaultEnable RIP on the interfaceattached to the specified network network network-addressRequiredDisabled by defaultz If you make some RIP configurations in interface view before enabling RIP, those configurationswill take effect after RIP is enabled.z RIP runs only on the interfaces residing on the specified networks. Therefore, you need to specifythe network after enabling RIP to validate RIP on a specific interface.z You can enable RIP on all interfaces using the command network 0.0.0.0.z If a physical interface is attached to multiple networks, you cannot advertise these networks indifferent RIP processes.Configuring the interface behaviorFollow these steps to configure the interface behavior:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view ––Enter RIP view rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instancevpn-instance-name ] ––
