RIP and RIPng configuration overview

Overview

The RIP command hierarchy consists of three levels:

• global

• group

• interface (also known as neighbor)

For RIP configuration, you must define at least one group and one interface. The parameters that are configured on the global level are inherited by the group and interface levels. Parameters can be modified and overridden on a level-specific basis.

Many of the hierarchical RIP commands can be modified on different levels. RIP group-level parameters take precedence over BGP global-level parameters. RIP interface-level parameters take precedence over peer-group and global-level parameters.

When configuring RIP on the 7705 SAR, 7750 SR, or 7705 SAR-Hm, a RIP routing site is created under the routing instance which can be seen in the routing network tree. Using this RIP routing site, RIP groups and RIP interfaces can be configured.

The following procedures describe how to configure RIP and RIPng.
