Preview Qmap: "Establishing RIP Neighbors Using Unicast.qmap"


According to the topology above, configure BB1 and R1 to exchange RIP routes via unicast.

RIP V2 supports exchanging route using unicast ( by default, RIPv1 uses broadcast and RIPv2 uses multicast).

To enable the unicast update, do the followings:

• (config-router)#passive-interface Interface_name

Set the specified interface to the passive mode. It would only receive the route information, but not send.

• (config-router)#neighbor IP_address

Specify a neighbor to exchange the route information using unicast.
In this case, set BB1’s E0/0 and R1’s E1/1 to the passive mode, so they will not send the RIP information out by broadcast. Then enable the unicast update to exchange the route information.
