(Optional) Disabling Check on the Source Address of RIP Packets on a P2P Network

On a P2P network, IP addresses of interfaces at the two ends of a link may belong to different networks. Therefore, the two ends can receive packets from each other only when the check on the source addresses of RIP packets is disabled.

Context

By default, RIP checks the source addresses of received packets, and the local RIP interface receives only the packets from the same network. On a P2P network, IP addresses of interfaces at the two ends of a link may belong to different networks. Therefore, the two ends can receive packets from each other only when the check on the source addresses of RIP packets is disabled.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run rip [ process-id ]

    A RIP process is created, and the RIP view is displayed.

  3. Run undo verify-source

    The check on the source address of RIP packets is disabled.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
