Chapter 1 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring RIP
Configuring Basic RIP Parameters
Note To configure RIP, you enable RIP routing for a network and optionally configure other parameters. On
the Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X switches, RIP configuration commands are ignored until you configure
the network number.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable and configure RIP:
Timers basic
• Update: 30 seconds.
• Invalid: 180 seconds.
• Hold-down: 180 seconds.
• Flush: 240 seconds.
Validate-update-source Enabled.
Version Receives RIP Version 1 and 2 packets; sends Version 1 packets.

Feature Default Setting
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip routing Enable IP routing. (Required only if IP routing is disabled.)
Step 3
router rip Enable a RIP routing process, and enter router configuration mode.
Step 4
network network number Associate a network with a RIP routing process. You can specify multiple
network commands. RIP routing updates are sent and received through
interfaces only on these networks.
Note You must configure a network number for the RIP commands to
take effect.
Step 5
neighbor ip-address (Optional) Define a neighboring router with which to exchange routing
information. This step allows routing updates from RIP (normally a
broadcast protocol) to reach nonbroadcast networks.
Step 6
offset list [access-list number | name]
{in | out} offset [type number]
(Optional) Apply an offset list to routing metrics to increase incoming
and outgoing metrics to routes learned through RIP. You can limit the
offset list with an access list or an interface.
