Enabling RIP
To enable RIP on a router you must be in the global configuration mode and type the following:
- Router(config)#router rip
This will change the mode to router configuration mode and the prompt will change to router(config-router)#. Next type the following:
- Router(config-router)#network [ip address of major network]
You should configure a network command for each separate network your router is connected to.
Do not use subnet numbers or interface or host numbers when configuring RIP.
If you use subnet numbers, the router will resolve them into one network number.
