RIP Configuration Overview

To achieve basic connectivity between all RIP hosts in a RIP network, you enable RIP on every interface that is expected to transmit and receive RIP traffic, as described in the steps that follow.

To configure a RIP network:

  1. Configure network interfaces. See the Junos OS Interfaces Configuration Guide for Security Devices.
  2. Define RIP groups, which are logical groupings of interfaces, and add interfaces to the groups. Then, configure a routing policy to export directly connected routes and routes learned through RIP routing exchanges. See Example: Configuring a Basic RIP Network.
  3. (Optional) Configure metrics to control traffic through the RIP network. See Example: Controlling Traffic in a RIP Network with an Incoming Metric and Example: Controlling Traffic in a RIP Network with an Outgoing Metric.
  4. (Optional) Configure authentication to ensure that only trusted routers participate in the autonomous system’s routing. See Enabling Authentication with Plain-Text Passwords (CLI Procedure) and Enabling Authentication with MD5 Authentication (CLI Procedure).
