RIP listener

If a routed subscriber host is associated with a RIP policy, the host’s IPv4 routes can be learned over RIP. The BNG only supports RIP listener and does not support sending RIP routes to subscribers. To enable RIP for a subscriber, the subscriber must first be associated with a rip-policy. The group interface of the subscriber must also be configured as a RIP neighbor. The RIP policy can be associated with the subscriber during authentication from LUDB or by RADIUS. It can also be configured directly for static hosts. The RIP routes learned from a subscriber is removed as a subscriber is purged or shut down from the system. RIP listening for ESM host is supported on both IES and VPRN.

To display the RIP learned routes associated with a routed subscriber host, use the RIP commands. For example:

show router service-id rip neighbor interface advertised-routes

The group interface must be configured in the RIP CLI context of the routed instance where the subscriber host is created:

config>router/service vprn>rip
    group ‟rip-listener” 
        neighbor ‟group-interface-01”

The RIP policy is configured in the subscriber-mgmt CLI context:

config>sub-mgmt
    rip-policy ‟rip-policy-01” create

A RIP neighbor is established for a subscriber host if the RADIUS attribute [26-6527-207] ‟Alc-RIP-Policy” is returned in the Access-Accept or in LUDB. RIP parameters such as authentication key and type can be specified in the RIP policy.
