DESCRIPTION

ripd is the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) daemon from Quagga/FRRouting. It implements RIPv1 and RIPv2 for dynamic routing in small to medium networks.

PARAMETERS

-d, --daemon

Run as daemon.

-f, --config_file file

Configuration file.

-A, --vty_addr addr

VTY bind address.

-P, --vty_port port

VTY port.

-u, --user user

Run as user.

-g, --group group

Run as group.

EXAMPLES

$ # Start daemon
ripd -d -f /etc/quagga/ripd.conf

# Connect via vtysh
vtysh
router rip
network 192.168.1.0/24
version 2

CONFIGURATION

/etc/quagga/ripd.conf / /etc/frr/ripd.conf

Main configuration file defining RIP networks, version, redistribution rules, and interface settings. Location depends on whether Quagga or FRRouting is installed.

CAVEATS

Part of Quagga or FRRouting. Requires zebra daemon. RIP has slow convergence. Use OSPF for larger networks.

HISTORY

ripd is part of Quagga routing suite (forked from GNU Zebra), and later FRRouting for Unix routing daemons.
