configure ripd to listen on all active interfaces

Hi, All. Any recommendations for configuring ripd to listen on all active interfaces would be greatly appreciated.

An example of our current ripd.conf is as follows:

------
! -*- rip -*-
!
hostname ripd
!
!debug rip events
!debug rip packet
!debug rip zebra
!
interface eth0
no ip rip authentication mode
!
router rip
network eth0
passive-interface default
!
log file /var/log/quagga/ripd.log
!
------

This works great for a system with eth0 as the single active network interface. However, it obviously needs to be updated for a system with additional or different active interfaces. I have not yet found a ripd.conf that tells ripd to listen for rip advertisements on all active interfaces.

Any suggestions for updating our rip configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin

Does this work (I'm not sure):

router rip
network 0.0.0.0/0

Yes, it does. Thank you very much.

For what it's worth, I had previously tried this on SL4 (RHEL4 - quagga 0.98.3) and SL5 (quagga 0.98.6) and it did not work. With your encouragement I've now tried it on SL6 ( quagga 0.99.15) and it does work. That's good enough for me.

Here's our updated ripd.conf.
------
! -*- rip -*-
!
hostname ripd
!
!debug rip events
!debug rip packet
!debug rip zebra
!
interface 0.0.0.0/0
no ip rip authentication mode
!
router rip
network 0.0.0.0/0
passive-interface default
!
log file /var/log/quagga/ripd.log
!
------

Thanks again,
Devin

Of course, you should firewall this device. Right now your router will
insert routes sent to it from anything that speaks RIP, without authentication.
