Default-Information Originate

Test to verify RIP default-information originate configuration. By default, RIP does not advertise a default route (0.0.0.0/0) even if one exists in the routing table. The set protocols rip default-information originate command forces RIP to generate and advertise a default route (0.0.0.0/0) to all neighbors.

Test RIP Default-Information Originate

Description

Test RIP default-information originate sends default route to neighbors. DUT0 (10.1.1.100) is configured with set protocols rip default-information originate to advertise the default route (0.0.0.0/0) via RIP. The test verifies that DUT1 learns the default route via RIP.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.1.1.100/24
set protocols rip default-information originate
set protocols rip network 10.1.1.0/24
set protocols rip redistribute connected
set protocols rip timers update 5
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.1.1.50/24
set protocols rip network 10.1.1.0/24
set protocols rip timers update 5
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Attention

DUT1 (10.1.1.50) is the neighbor that should receive and install the default route from DUT0 in its routing table.

Step 3: Run command protocols rip show at DUT1 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

R\(n\) 0\.0\.0\.0/0

Show output

Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, L - local, S - static,
       R - RIP, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,

C(i) 10.1.1.0/24        0.0.0.0               1 self              0

Attention

Verify that RIP default route is selected (R>*)

Step 4: Run command protocols ip show route at DUT1 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

R>\* 0.0.0.0/0

Show output

Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, L - local, S - static,
       R - RIP, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
       T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, F - PBR,
       f - OpenFabric, t - Table-Direct,
       > - selected route, * - FIB route, q - queued, r - rejected, b - backup
       t - trapped, o - offload failure
