Specifying a RIP neighbor
Typically RIP messages are sent in broadcast or multicast. To enable RIP on a link that does not support broadcast or multicast, you must manually specify RIP neighbors.
Follow these guidelines when you specify a RIP neighbor:
Do not use the peer ip-address command when the neighbor is directly connected. Otherwise, the neighbor might receive both unicast and multicast (or broadcast) messages of the same routing information.
If the specified neighbor is not directly connected, disable source address check on incoming updates.
To specify a RIP neighbor:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter RIP view. | rip [ process-id ] | N/A |
3. Specify a RIP neighbor. | peer ip-address | By default, RIP does not unicast updates to any peer. |
4. Disable source IP address check on inbound RIP updates | undo validate-source-address | By default, source IP address check on inbound RIP updates is enabled. |
