OMPROUTE implements the OSPF protocol described in RFC 1583 (OSPF Version 2), the OSPF subagent protocol described in RFC 1850, and the RIP protocols described in RFC 1058 (RIP Version 1) and in RFC 1723 (RIP Version 2). It provides an alternative to the static TCP/IP gateway definitions. The MVS host running with OMPROUTE becomes an active OSPF router, a RIP router, or both in a TCP/IP network. Either or both of these routing protocols can be used to dynamically maintain the host routing table. For example, OMPROUTE detects when a route is created, is temporarily unavailable, or if a more efficient route exists. If both OSPF and RIP protocols are used simultaneously, OSPF routes are preferred over RIP routes to the same destination.
OMPRoute RIP commands may be submitted to display RIP configuration and state information. The following commands are available using the assisted mode:
· DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,RIP,LIST,ALL This command lists all RIP-related configuration information. |
· DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,RIP,LIST,INTERFACES This command lists IP addresses and configured parameters for each RIP interface. |
· DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,RIP,LIST,ACCEPTED This command lists the routes to be unconditionally accepted, as configured with the ACCEPT_RIP_ROUTE statement. |
·
DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,RIP,INTERFACE, This command displays statistics and parameters related to a particular RIP interface. |
· DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,RIP,FILTERS This command displays the Global RIP filters. |
To use the assisted RIP commands, perform the following steps:
From the Commands main menu, click the RIP hyperlink under Route Display Commands.
Click the down triangle to view a drop-down list of the available RIP commands.
Select a command, for example:
DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,RIP,LIST,ALL
If you
are doing the DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,RIP,
INTERFACE,NAME=<if-name> you must enter the Interface Address
parameter in the field provided. The address is appended to the end of
the command. For example, DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,RIP,INTERFACE,NAME=1.2.3.4
Click Submit. The response to the command appears on the next screen.
Use your Web browser's commands to:
find a particular string in the output,
obtain hardcopy of the output, or
return to the main menu by clicking the Back arrow.
