Introduction
This document explains how to configure Routing Internet Protocol (RIP)
on your router with Security Device Manager.
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector protocol
widely used to route traffic in the global Internet and is an interior gateway
protocol (IGP), which means that it performs routing within a single autonomous
system of a small network. RIP uses hop count as its metric.

Requirements
To perform the steps described in this document, you need to have these
items:

Configure RIP
To Configure the RIP, follow these steps:
-
Open a web browser and type
http://router IP
address
in the Address field. The router's IP address is
the IP address that you entered in the LAN Addressing Worksheet (L6A).
Note: For further information on how to launch SDM, refer to
Configure
Your Router with Security Device Manager.
-
Click Configure.
-
Click the Routing tab.
-
In the Routing screen, under Dynamic Routing, select the RIP tab
and click Edit.
-
In the Edit IP Dynamic Routing window, make these
changes:
-
Select RIP.
-
Check Enable RIP checkbox.
-
Choose Version 1 and click on Add
tab.
Note: Select the RIP version supported by the Cisco IOS image that the
router is running. When you select version 1, the router sends version 1 RIP
packets and can receive version 1 packets. When you select version 2, the
router sends version 2 RIP packets and can receive version 2 packets. When you
select Default, the router sends version 1 packets, and can receive both
version 1 and version 2 RIP packets. If you need further assistance contact
SMB
TAC.
Note: The Cisco implementation of RIP Version 2 supports plain text and
MD5 authentication, route summarization, classless interdomain routing (CIDR),
and variable-length subnet masks (VLSMs). If you need further assistance
contact
SMB
TAC.
-
In the Add a Network window, enter the network
addresses or routes that you want the router to advertise to its neighbours.
For example enter the Default network router IP address that you entered in
field L6A of the LAN Addressing Worksheet. Click
OK.
-
Repeat step 6 to add the Guest and Secure Server network router IP
addresses. Use the Secure Server network router IP address that you entered in
field L6C of the Secure Server VLAN Addressing Worksheet and Guest network
router IP address from the field L6D of the Guest VLAN Addressing
Worksheet.
Click OK.
Note: In the Edit IP Dynamic Routing window, next to
Available Interface List, you can check the box next to the interface if you do
not want it to send routing updates to its neighbour. However, the interface
still receives routing updates.
-
A Commands Delivery Status window
displays.
Click OK.
-
After you have configured your router for RIP, you can verify the
RIP configurations under Dynamic Routing of the Routing
screen.
-
Click File > Write to Startup
Config to save your configuration.
-
In the SDM Write to Startup Config Warning window,
click YES.
