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. If you do not specify this argument, the command uses the natural mask.

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
