Parameters

network-address: Specifies a subnet address where an interface resides.

wildcard-mask: Specifies an IP address wildcard mask. A wildcard mask can be thought of as a subnet mask, with 1s and 0s inverted. For example, a wildcard mask of 255.255.255.0 corresponds to a subnet mask of 0.0.0.255.

Usage guidelines

RIP runs only on an interface attached to the specified network, which can be configured with a wildcard mask. An interface not on the specified network does not receive or send RIP routes, or advertise its direct routes.

For a single RIP process, the network 0.0.0.0 command can enable RIP on all interfaces. If multiple RIP processes exist, the command is not applicable.

If a physical interface is attached to multiple networks, you cannot advertise these networks in different RIP processes.

Examples

# Enable RIP process 100 on the interface attached to the network 129.102.0.0.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] rip 100
[Sysname-rip-100] network 129.102.0.0
