Configuring Point-to-Multipoint RIP Networks Overview
A point-to-multipoint RIP network consists of a device having two or more peers on a single interface. All the devices forming a point-to-multipoint connection are placed in a single broadcast domain.
In a RIP network, a device can have a single peer or multiple peers for an interface. However, the demand circuit feature implementation in a RIP network requires the use of a single RIP peer. When you configure the following statements, a RIP network with demand circuits can also be configured to have multiple peers on an interface:
- Configuring the interface type to be a multipoint interface by using the interface-type (Protocols RIP) p2mp statement.
- Enabling dynamic peer discovery by using the dynamic-peers statement (SRX Series devices only).
Note: Before configuring the dynamic-peers statement, IPsec must be configured and IPsec tunnels must be set up by configuring IPsec parameters. Without IPsec configuration, the remote peers have to be explicitly configured at the RIP protocol level by using the peer address statement. See Configuring Security Associations for IPsec on an ES PIC for more details.
- Configuring peers by using the peer address statement.[edit]protocols {rip {group red {neighbor fe-0/1/3 {interface-type (Protocols RIP) p2mp;peer address; (or use dynamic-peers;)}}}}
The show rip statistics peer address command can be used to display the RIP statistics at the peer level. The clear rip statistics peer address command can be used to clear the RIP statistics for a peer. Alternatively, you can use the show rip statistics peer all and clear rip statistics peer all command to display and clear RIP statistics for all peers.
Example: Configuring Point-to-Multipoint RIP Networks
This example shows how to configure a point-to-multipoint RIP network.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
- M Series routers, MX Series routers, T Series routers, or SRX Series devices
- Junos OS Release 12.1 or later
Overview
In a RIP network, a device can have a single peer or multiple peers for an interface. However, the demand circuit feature implementation in a RIP network requires the use of a single RIP peer.
When you include the following statements, the demand circuit implementation can have multiple peers for a given RIP neighbor.
- Configuring the interface type to be a multipoint interface by using the interface-type (Protocols RIP) p2mp statement.
- Enabling dynamic peer discovery by using the dynamic-peers statement (SRX Series devices only).
Note: To configure the dynamic-peers statement, IPsec tunnels must be set up by configuring IPsec parameters. See Configuring Security Associations for IPsec on an ES PIC for more details.
- Configuring peers by using the peer address statement.[edit]protocols {rip {group red {neighbor fe-0/1/3 {interface-type (Protocols RIP) p2mp;peer address; (or use dynamic-peers;)}}}}
The show rip statistics peer command can be used to display the RIP statistics at the peer level.
Topology
In this example, Devices R1, R2, and R3 form a point-to-multipoint network. R1 is connected to R2 and to R3 as a point-to-multipoint connection through a switch that places all devices in the same broadcast domain. RIP demand circuits are configured on all three devices. The two peers to R1 are configured statically by using the peer address statement. The dynamic-peers statement is not used here.
Figure 1 shows the topology used in this example.

Configuration
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure this example, copy the following commands, paste them into a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level.
Device R1
Similarly, configure Devices R2 and R3, omitting the peer address configuration statement.
Configuring a Point-to-Multipoint RIP Network (with Demand Circuits)
Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires that you navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For information about navigating the CLI, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
To configure the point-to-multipoint feature across a RIP network:
- Configure the device interface.[edit interfaces fe-0/1/3 unit 0]user@R1# set family inet address 23.1.1.1/24
- Define a policy for exporting RIP routes from the routing
table to the protocol for transmission through the network.[edit policy-options policy-statement accept-rip-routes]user@R1# set term from-direct from protocol directuser@R1# set term from-direct then acceptuser@R1# set term from-rip from protocol ripuser@R1# set term from-rip then accept
- Configure RIP and a RIP group with the defined export
policy and point-to-multipoint configuration statements.[edit protocols rip]user@R1# set traceoptions file R1.log size 4m world-readableuser@R1# set traceoptions flag all detailuser@R1# set group red export accept-rip-routes user@R1# set group red neighbor fe-0/1/3.0 interface-type p2mpuser@R1# set group red neighbor fe-0/1/3.0 peer 23.1.1.2user@R1# set group red neighbor fe-0/1/3.0 peer 23.1.1.3user@R1# set group red neighbor fe-0/1/3.0 demand-circuituser@R1# set group red neighbor fe-0/1/3.0 max-retrans-time 10
Similarly, configure Devices R2 and R3, omitting the peer address configuration statement.
Note: Configuring max-retrans-time is optional. In the absence of this configuration statement, the default retransmission time of 180 seconds is configured.
The configuration used in this example is for a RIP network with demand circuits. To configure RIP for networks without demand circuits, exclude the demand-circuit and max-retrans-time statements from the configuration and check the resulting output. For more information about configuring RIP demand circuits, see Example: Configuring RIP Demand Circuits.
Results
From configuration mode, confirm your configuration by entering the show interfaces, show policy-options, and show protocols rip commands. If the output does not display the intended configuration, repeat the instructions in this example to correct the configuration.
If you are done configuring the device, enter commit from configuration mode.
Verification
Confirm that the configuration is working properly.
Verifying the Point-to-Multipoint RIP Network
Purpose
Verify that the RIP network is functional with the point-to-multipoint feature configured.
Action
From operational mode, run the show rip neighbor command.

From operational mode, run the show rip statistics peer address command.
