Configuring a RIP Network

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol that routes packets within a single autonomous system (AS). To use RIP, you must understand the basic components of a RIP network and configure the Juniper Networks device to act as a node in the network.

For an overview of RIPng, see RIPng Overview. For configuration instructions, see the JUNOS Routing Protocols Configuration Guide.

Note: Before configuring routing protocols on a device running JUNOS Software, you must first configure security filters. For more information, see the JUNOS Software Security Configuration Guide.

Note: In general, in this guide, the term RIP refers to RIP version 1 (RIPv1) and RIP version 2 (RIPv2).

You can use either J-Web Quick Configuration or a configuration editor to configure a RIP network.

For more information about RIP, see the JUNOS Routing Protocols Configuration Guide.

For information about which devices support the features documented in this chapter, see the JUNOS Software Feature Support Reference for SRX Series and J Series Devices.
