The network statement in RIP does not specify which networks to advertise, it specifies which interfaces participate in RIP. If you don't have a network statement, no networks will be advertised because no interfaces are running RIP.
HTH, John >>> "Phil Barker" 12/19/01 12:01:40 PM >>> Hi all, Just set up a simple RIP network and am trying to redistribute connected networks without directly advertising a network through the network statement. The router won't allow me ? If I advertise a network with redistribute connected and then take the network out of the advertisements then the 'router rip', 'redistribute connected' is still in the config but it doesn't do anything i.e 'debug ip rip' shows no updates. Does anyone know why this is ? Regards, Phil. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
