RIP Routing

Use J-Web configuration to configure RIP networks.

To configure a RIP network:

In the J-Web user interface, select Configure > Routing > RIP.

Note: After you make changes to the configuration in this window, you must commit the changes immediately for them to take effect. To commit all changes to the active configuration, select Commit Options > Commit. See Using the Commit Options to Commit Configuration Changes (J-Web Procedure) for details about all commit options.

To manage RIP configuration, click on:
- Add—Configures a RIP instance. Enter information into the configuration page for RIP, as described in Table 22.
- Edit—Modifies an existing RIP instance. Enter information into the RIP configuration page, as described in Table 22.
- Delete—Deletes an existing RIP instance.
To modify RIP global settings, click Edit. Enter information in the configuration as described in Table 23.

Table 22: RIP Routing Configuration Summary

Field	Function	Your Action
General tab
Routing instance name	Specifies a name for the routing instance.	Type a name.
Preference	Specifies the preference of external routes learned by RIP as compared to those learned from other routing protocols.	Type a value.
Metric Out	Specifies the metric value to add to routes transmitted to the neighbor.	Type a value.
Update interval	Specifies an update time interval to periodically send out routes learned by RIP to neighbors.	Type a value.
Route timeout	Specifies the route timeout interval for RIP.	Type a value.
Policy tab
Import Policy	The import policy enables you to control which routes learned from an area are used to generate summary link-state advertisements (LSAs) into other areas.	Click Add to add an import policy. Click Move up or Move down to move the selected policy up or down the list of policies. Click Remove to remove an import policy.
Export Policy	The export policy enables you to specify which summary LSAs are flooded into an area.	Click Add to add an export policy. Click Move up or Move down to move the selected policy up or down the list of policies. Click Remove to remove an export policy.
Neighbor
RIP-Enabled Interfaces	Selects the interfaces to be associated with the RIP instance.	To enable RIP on an interface, click the check box next to the interface name. Select the interface by clicking the interface row and click Edit to modify the interface settings.

Table 23: Edit RIP Global Settings

Field	Function	Your Action
General tab
Send	Specifies RIP send options.	Select a value.
Receive	Configure RIP receive options.	Select a value.
Route timeout (sec)	Specifies the route timeout interval for RIP.	Type a value.
Update interval (sec)	Specifies the update time interval to periodically send out routes learned by RIP to neighbors.	Type a value.
Hold timeout (sec)	Specifies the time period the expired route is retained in the routing table before being removed.	Type a value.
Metric in	Specifies the metric to add to incoming routes when advertising into RIP routes that were learned from other protocols.	Type a value.
RIB Group	Specifies a routing table group to install RIP routes into multiple routing tables.	Select a routing table group name.
Message size	Specifies the number of route entries to be included in every RIP update message.	Type a value.
Check Zero	Specifies whether the reserved fields in a RIP packet are zero.	check-zero—Discard version 1 packets that have nonzero values in the reserved fields and version 2 packets that have nonzero values in the fields that must be zero. This default behavior implements the RIP version 1 and version 2 specifications. no-check-zero—Receive RIP version 1 packets with nonzero values in the reserved fields or RIP version 2 packets with nonzero values in the fields that must be zero. This is in spite of the fact that they are being sent in violation of the specifications in RFC 1058 and RFC 2453.
Graceful switchover	Configures graceful switchover for OSPF.	Click Disable to disable graceful restart. Specify the estimated time for the restart to finish, in seconds.
Authentication Type	Specifies the type of authentication for RIP route queries received on an interface.	Select the authentication type. Enter the authentication key.
Policies tab
Import Policy	The import policy enables you to control which routes learned from an area are used to generate summary link-state advertisements (LSAs) into other areas.	Click Add to add an import policy. Click Move up or Move down to move the selected policy up or down the list of policies. Click Remove to remove an import policy.
Export Policy	The export policy enables you to specify which summary LSAs are flooded into an area.	Click Add to add an export policy. Click Move up or Move down to move the selected policy up or down the list of policies. Click Remove to remove an export policy.
Traceoptions tab
File Name	Specifies the name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation.	Enter a name.
Number of Files	Specifies the maximum number of trace files.	Type a value.
File Size	Specifies the maximum size for each trace file.	Type a value.
World Readable	Specifies whether the trace file can be read by any user or not.	Select True for it to be read by any user. Select False if you don’t want it read by any user.
Flags	Specifies the tracing operation to perform.	Specify one or multiple flags.
