Don't think so. RIP is required only if there are constant changes, which isn't the case here - all he needs is for NetVision's routers to know to forward packets designated for his static IP addresses over a particular port on a particulad router. Did you do a traceroute from somewhere else to one of the static IPs
and see where it went? Hopefully they get lost somewhere inside Netvision. Assuming that the Netvision end of your tunnel is 1.2.3.4 and your end is 1.2.3.5 and the static IP's are 11.12.13.1-10, you have to advertise to the outside world that 11.12.13.1 and so on, can be reached via 1.2.3.5.
If it was dependent on him doing this then NetVision would have to configure their routers to accept RIP from his side, which then has to be authenticated and stuff. Instead it looks much more reasonable to me to expect that NetVision statically configure their routers with the right routing entries. Netvision already should be advertising a route to 1.2.3.5, or you would
never get any packets.
I think it depends on how they set things up - do they expect to forward everything through his "primary IP" or directly? This is something his contract with them should explain, or point to explanation about, IMHO. --Amos
