What version of RIP is it? You need RIPv2 as others said. The 2.2-CURRENT routed is able to use RIPv2 (in addition to RIPv1 and RDISC). DESCRIPTION Routed is a dameon invoked at boot time to manage the network routing ta- bles. It uses Routing Information Protocol, RIPv1 (RFC 1058), RIPv2 (RFC 1723), and Internet Router Discovery Protocol (RFC 1256) to maintain the kernel routing table. The RIPv1 protocol is based on the reference 4.3BSD daemon. > If not, would gated do the trick? Yes of course. The main advantage of gated is that configuration is more complete (and somewhat harder too). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #17: Fri Aug 2 20:40:17 MET DST 1996
