Switching between routing protocols

exkor5000

if for instance I issue the commands

R1(config)#router rip
R1(config-router)#network 192.168.10.0

and then I issue

R1(config)#router osfp 1
R1(config-router)#network 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

would the router switch from RIP to OSFP, or would it now use RIP and OSPF simultaneously?

Thanks

Run both simultaneously.

If the exact same network(s) are known to both routing protocols, then the one with the lower Administrative Distance will be the preferred route and placed in the routing table.

great! ok so now if for instance i make a mistake and i want to disable RIP. What commands would I issue for this?

wild guess >> no router rip?

Yep. In global config mode.

yep that worked

Thanks!!

OSPF AD is 110 and RIP is 120 so the lowest Administrative Distance will populate the routing table. Running multiple routing protocols on a router is wasting bandwidth and CPU memory.

thanks for the feedback
i know about ADs.

actually a good way to remember them is by the acronym:
EIORE
90, 100, 110, 120, 170
