Configuring the Check on the Source Address in RIP Packets on the Broadcast Network

By default, RIP checks the source addresses of received packets, and the local RIP interface receives only the packets from the same network.

Context

RIP interfaces check the source address in received RIP packets. If the source address of the received RIP packet is from a network segment different from that of the local interface IP address, the local interface discards this RIP packet. This improves the network security.

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 verify-source

    The source address check is configured for RIP packets on the broadcast network.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
