RIP was developed in the 1970s at Xerox Labs as part of the XNS +routing protocol. RIP is a distance-vector protocol and is based on the +Bellman-Ford algorithms. As a distance-vector protocol, RIP router send updates +to its neighbors periodically, thus allowing the convergence to a known +topology. In each update, the distance to any given network will be broadcast +to its neighboring router. + +Supported versions of RIP are: + +> - RIPv1 as described in {rfc}`1058` +> - RIPv2 as described in {rfc}`2453` + +## General Configuration + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip network \<A.B.C.D/M\> + +This command enables RIP and sets the RIP enable interface by NETWORK. +The interfaces which have addresses matching with NETWORK are enabled. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip interface \<interface\> + +This command specifies a RIP enabled interface by interface name. Both +the sending and receiving of RIP packets will be enabled on the port +specified in this command. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip neighbor \<A.B.C.D\> + +This command specifies a RIP neighbor. When a neighbor doesn’t understand +multicast, this command is used to specify neighbors. In some cases, not +all routers will be able to understand multicasting, where packets are +sent to a network or a group of addresses. In a situation where a neighbor +cannot process multicast packets, it is necessary to establish a direct +link between routers. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip passive-interface interface \<interface\> + +This command sets the specified interface to passive mode. On passive mode +interface, all receiving packets are processed as normal and VyOS does not +send either multicast or unicast RIP packets except to RIP neighbors +specified with neighbor command. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip passive-interface interface default + +This command specifies all interfaces to passive mode. +``` + +## Optional Configuration + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip default-distance \<distance\> + +This command change the distance value of RIP. The distance range is 1 to 255. + +> :::{note} +> Routes with a distance of 255 are effectively disabled and not +> installed into the kernel. +> ::: +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip network-distance \<A.B.C.D/M\> distance \<distance\> + +This command sets default RIP distance to a specified value when the routes +source IP address matches the specified prefix. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip network-distance \<A.B.C.D/M\> access-list \<name\> + +This command can be used with previous command to sets default RIP distance +to specified value when the route source IP address matches the specified +prefix and the specified access-list. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip default-information originate + +This command generate a default route into the RIP. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip distribute-list access-list \<in|out\> \<number\> + +This command can be used to filter the RIP path using access lists. +{cfgcmd}`in` and {cfgcmd}`out` this is the direction in which the access +lists are applied. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip distribute-list interface \<interface\> access-list \<in|out\> \<number\> + +This command allows you apply access lists to a chosen interface to +filter the RIP path. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip distribute-list prefix-list \<in|out\> \<name\> + +This command can be used to filter the RIP path using prefix lists. +{cfgcmd}`in` and {cfgcmd}`out` this is the direction in which the prefix +lists are applied. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip distribute-list interface \<interface\> prefix-list \<in|out\> \<name\> + +This command allows you apply prefix lists to a chosen interface to +filter the RIP path. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip route \<A.B.C.D/M\> + +This command is specific to FRR and VyOS. The route command makes a static +route only inside RIP. This command should be used only by advanced users +who are particularly knowledgeable about the RIP protocol. In most cases, +we recommend creating a static route in VyOS and redistributing it in RIP +using {cfgcmd}`redistribute static`. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip timers update \<seconds\> + +This command specifies the update timer. Every update timer seconds, the +RIP process is awakened to send an unsolicited response message containing +the complete routing table to all neighboring RIP routers. The time range +is 5 to 2147483647. The default value is 30 seconds. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip timers timeout \<seconds\> + +This command specifies the timeout timer. Upon expiration of the timeout, +the route is no longer valid; however, it is retained in the routing table +for a short time so that neighbors can be notified that the route has been +dropped. The time range is 5 to 2147483647. The default value is 180 +seconds. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip timers garbage-collection \<seconds\> + +This command specifies the garbage-collection timer. Upon expiration of +the garbage-collection timer, the route is finally removed from the +routing table. The time range is 5 to 2147483647. The default value is 120 +seconds. +``` + +## Redistribution Configuration + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip redistribute \<route source\> + +This command redistributes routing information from the given route source +into the RIP tables. There are five modes available for route source: bgp, +connected, kernel, ospf, static. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip redistribute \<route source\> metric \<metric\> + +This command specifies metric for redistributed routes from the given route +source. There are five modes available for route source: bgp, connected, +kernel, ospf, static. The metric range is 1 to 16. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip redistribute \<route source\> route-map \<name\> + +This command allows to use route map to filter redistributed routes from +the given route source. There are five modes available for route source: +bgp, connected, kernel, ospf, static. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set protocols rip default-metric \<metric\> + +This command modifies the default metric (hop count) value for redistributed +routes. The metric range is 1 to 16. The default value is 1. This command +does not affect connected route even if it is redistributed by +{cfgcmd}`redistribute connected`. To modify connected routes metric +value, please use {cfgcmd}`redistribute connected metric`. +``` + +## Interfaces Configuration + +```{cfgcmd} set interfaces \<inttype\> \<intname\> ip rip authentication plaintext-password \<text\> + +This command sets the interface with RIP simple password authentication. +This command also sets authentication string. The string must be shorter +than 16 characters. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set interfaces \<inttype\> \<intname\> ip rip authentication md5 \<id\> password \<text\> + +This command sets the interface with RIP MD5 authentication. This command +also sets MD5 Key. The key must be shorter than 16 characters. +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set interfaces \<inttype\> \<intname\> ip rip split-horizon disable + +This command disables split-horizon on the interface. By default, VyOS does +not advertise RIP routes out the interface over which they were learned +(split horizon).3 +``` + + +```{cfgcmd} set interfaces \<inttype\> \<intname\> ip rip split-horizon poison-reverse + +This command enables poison-reverse on the interface. If both poison reverse +and split horizon are enabled, then VyOS advertises the learned routes +as unreachable over the interface on which the route was learned. +``` + +## Operational Mode Commands + +```{opcmd} show ip rip + +This command displays RIP routes. +``` +```none +Codes: R - RIP, C - connected, S - Static, O - OSPF, B - BGP +Sub-codes: + (n) - normal, (s) - static, (d) - default, (r) - redistribute, + (i) - interface + + Network Next Hop Metric From Tag Time +C(i) 10.0.12.0/24 0.0.0.0 1 self 0 +C(i) 10.0.13.0/24 0.0.0.0 1 self 0 +R(n) 10.0.23.0/24 10.0.12.2 2 10.0.12.2 0 02:53 +``` + +```{opcmd} show ip rip status + +The command displays current RIP status.
