This section provides a brief overview of the tasks that must be performed to configure RIP and provides the CLI commands.
Configure RIP hierarchically using the global level (applies to all peers), the group level (applies to all peers in peer-group), or the neighbor level (only applies to the specified interface). By default, group members inherit the group configuration parameters although a parameter can be modified on a per-member basis without affecting the group-level parameters.
Many of the hierarchical RIP commands can be used on different levels. The most specific value is used. That is, a RIP group-specific command takes precedence over a global RIP command. A neighbor-specific statement takes precedence over a global RIP or group-specific command.
All RIP instances must be explicitly created on each device. When created, RIP is administratively enabled.
To configure RIP, perform the following tasks:
