RIP/RIPng runs only on interfaces on specified network segments. For interfaces that are not on the specified network segment, RIP/RIPng neither receives and sends routes on it, nor forwards its interface routes out. Users can enable RIP/RIPng in the following two ways:

Enabling RIP/RIPng on a Specified Network Segment
Enabling RIP/RIPng on an L3 Interface

Enabling RIP/RIPng on a Specified Network Segment

The following command enables RIP routing on the specified network segments 10.0.0.0/24 and 192.168.10.0/24.

admin@PICOS# set protocols rip network 10.0.0.0/24
admin@PICOS# set protocols rip network 192.168.10.0/24 
admin@PICOS# commit

The following command enables RIPng routing on the specified network segments FC00:0:0:1000::0/64.

admin@PICOS# set protocols ripng network FC00:0:0:1000::0/64
admin@PICOS# commit

Enabling RIP/RIPng on an L3 Interface

Users can enable RIP/RIPng on an L3 interface, which can be a VLAN interface, routed interface or loopback interface. All routes for all network segments on this interface will be advertised via RIP/RIPng messages.

NOTE:

Although it is supported to enable RIP on a loopback interface by using command set protocols rip interface <looplack-interface-name>, but it doesn't work for RIPng by using command set protocols ripng interface <looplack-interface-name>. Users can use command set protocols ripng route <loopback-IPv6-net> command to set RIPng static network routing announcement for loopback interface.

The following command enables RIP routing to send and receive routes on all network segments on VLAN interface vlan100.

admin@PICOS# set protocols rip interface vlan100
admin@PICOS# commit

The following command enables RIPng routing to send and receive routes on all network segments on VLAN interface vlan1000.

admin@PICOS# set protocols ripng interface vlan1000
