Network Tip No. 25: RIP Routing Commands

RIP Routing Commands

Router(config)#router rip	Enables RIP as a routing protocol
Router(config-router)#network 192.168.10.0	192.168.10.0 is the network number of the directly connected network you want to advertise

Note:

You need to advertise only the classful network number, not a subnet:

Router(config-router)#network 172.17.0.0 

not

Router(config-router)#network 172.17.10.0 

If you advertise a subnet, you will not receive an error message, because the router will automatically convert the subnet to the classful network address.
