How to configure RIP advance functions on NBS Series Switches?(ReyeeOS 1.218.2421)

1. Configuring the RIP Global Configuration

You can click  [Local Device] > [Routing]> [RIP Settings] > [Advanced], Click [Edit], and configure RIP global configuration parameters.





RIP Version:

Default: Select RIPv2 for sending packets and RIPv1/v2 for receiving packets.

V1: Select RIPv1 for sending and receiving packets.

V2: Select RIPv2 for sending and receiving packets.


Route Advertisement： After route advertisement is enabled, the current device generates a default route and sends it to the neighbor.

Administrative Distance： Redistribute routes of other protocols to the RIP domain so that RIP can interwork with other routing domains.

Update Timer： RIP update cycle. The routing information is updated every 30 seconds by default.

Invalid Timer: If no update is received before a route becomes invalid, the route is considered unreachable. The default value is 180 seconds.

Flush Timer: If no update is received before the flush timer of an invalid route expires, the route is completely deleted from the RIP routing table. The default value is 120 seconds.


2. Configuring the RIP Route Redistribution List

You can click  [Local Device] > [Routing]> [RIP Settings] > [Advanced],  Click [Add], and select the type and administrative distance.





Type: Direct Routing/OSPF Routing/Static Routing

Administrative Distance: A smaller administrative distance indicates a higher priority. The default value is 0. The value ranges from 0 to 16.

instance ID: Select the instance ID of OSPF that needs to be redistributed. OSPFv2 needs to be enabled on the local device



3. Configuring the Passive Interface

Note: If an interface is configured as a passive interface, it will suppress RIP update packets. If the connected peer device does not run RIP, you are advised to enable the passive interface.


You can click [Local Device] > [Routing]> [RIP Settings] > [Advanced], Click [Add], and select a passive interface.
