# Configuring a RIP interface using EDM

Use the following procedure to configure a RIP interface to tailor RIP to the individual interfaces.

## Prerequisites

- Enable IP routing globally.

- Assign an IP address to the VLAN or brouter port that you want to enable with RIP.

  Routing is automatically enabled on the VLAN when you assign an IP address to it.

## Procedure steps

1. From the navigation pane, double-click IP.

2. In the IP tree, click RIP.

3. In the RIP work area, click the Interface tab.

4. Configure the RIP interface as required.

5. On the toolbar, click Apply.

6. On the toolbar, you can click Refresh to verify the RIP interface configuration.

The following table describes the fields of the Interface tab.

Send | Sets the RIP version sent on this interface. The following values are valid: doNotSend - No RIP updates sent on this interface. ripVersion1 - RIP updates compliant with RFC 1058. rip1Compatible - Broadcasts RIPv2 updates using RFC 1058 route subsumption rules. ripVersion2 - Multicasting RIPv2 updates. The default is rip1Compatible.
Receive | Sets the RIP version received on this interface: rip1, rip2, or rip1OrRip2 The default is rip1OrRip2. Note that rip2 and rip1OrRip2 imply reception of multicast packets.
