NetVX Configuration Procedures
3.23.3 How to Enable Router Information Protocol (RIP)
Abstract: Use this procedure to enable RIP on the NetVX.
The NetVX’s Router Information Protocol (RIP) feature allows the system to periodically exchange IP routing information with its direct neighbors.
RIP is described in IETF Drafts 1058 and 1723. When RIP is enabled, it allows the NetVX to function like a router by forwarding IP packets to the
appropriate next hop in the network. When RIP is disabled, the routing table can be configured manually, but the system neither sends nor
responds to RIP queries.
1 Enable RIP on the entire system
• Select ‘System > (right-click) Properties > Fundamentals’.
• Check the box labeled ‘Enable Routing Information Protocol’.
• Click ‘OK’ to close the dialog.
2 Enable RIP on each Logical IP Subnet (LIS) on which the system has an interface. These interfaces are listed in the table in the ‘Logical
IP Subnets’ branch of the configuration tree.
• Select ‘System > Logical IP Subnets > (right-click) Properties’.
• Check the box labelled ‘Enable Routing Information Protocol’.
• Click ‘OK’ to close the dialog.
3 Activate RIP on the System Controller module.
• Select ‘Modules > IP Modules > SYS-G10 > (right-click) Properties’.
• Check the box labeled ‘Enable Routing Information Protocol’.
• Click ‘OK’ to close the dialog.
4 Select ‘Device > Write…’ to write these changes to the system.
