Enabling RIP on the routing switch and entering the RIP router context
Syntax:
[no] router rip [[enable] | [disable]] [auto-summary]
Executed at the global configuration level to enable RIP on the routing switch and to enter the RIP router context. This enables you to proceed with assigning RIP areas and to modify RIP global parameter settings as needed. Global IP routing must be enabled before the RIP protocol can be enabled.
Default: Disabled
enable
|
Enables RIP routing. |
disable
|
Disables RIP routing. |
The no
form of the command
deletes all protocol-specific information from the global context
and interface context. All protocol parameters are set to default
values.
If you disable RIP, the switch retains all the configuration information for the disabled protocol in flash memory. If you subsequently restart RIP, the existing configuration will be applied.
The auto-summary
form of the
command enables advertisement of the summarized routes. When used
with the no form of the command, auto-summary
disables
the advertisement of the summarized routes.
Enter RIP router context
switch(config)# router rip switch(rip)#
Enable RIP routing
switch(config)# router rip enable switch(rip)#
Disable RIP routing
switch(config)# router rip disable switch(rip)#
Delete all protocol-specific information from the global and interface context
switch(config)# no router rip switch(rip)#
Deleting all protocol-specific information from the global and interface context sets all protocol parameters to default values.
IP routing must be enabled before enabling RIP. The first command in the preceding sequence enables IP routing.
