Command

Router Rip

Use

The router rip command is necessary to enable RIP. RIP must be enabled before carrying out any of the RIP commands.

Syntax

R1(config)#router rip

Example

The following example demonstrates the router rip command. First, the show ip route command is issued to help determine the network layout.

R1#sh ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is not set

1.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 1.1.1.1 is directly connected, Loopback0
10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 2 subnets
C 10.1.1.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
R1#

Next, router rip is configured on R1.

R1(config)#router rip
R1(config-router)#version 2
R1(config-router)#no auto
R1(config-router)#network 10.1.1.0
R1(config-router)#exit
R1(config)#exit
R1#

After that, it is configued on R2.

R2(config)#router rip
R1(config-router)#version 2
R1(config-router)#no auto
R2(config-router)#network 10.1.1.0
R2(config-router)#exit
R2(config)#exit
R2#

Now, if we type show ip route we see that RIP is enabled and sending routes
