peer (RIP)

Function

The peer command specifies the IP addresses of the RIP neighbors. After this command is configured, Update packets are sent to the peer in unicast instead of multicast or broadcast mode.

The undo peer command deletes the specified neighbor IP address.

By default, no RIP neighbor address is specified.

Format

peer ip-address

undo peer ip-address

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
ip-address	Specifies the IP address of a neighbor.	The value is in dotted decimal notation.

Default Level

Usage Guidelines

Generally, you are advised to use the peer command because an interface may receive the same packets both in multicast (or broadcast) and unicast mode. You are advised to change the mode of the interface to the silent mode when configuring the peer command.

Example

# Specify the IP address of the neighbor to 10.0.0.1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] rip 1
[HUAWEI-rip-1] peer 10.0.0.1
