Configuring RIP parameters

RIP interface parameters

Table 96

lists the interface-level RIP parameters and their default values, and indicates where you

can find configuration information.

.

Configuring RIP parameters

Use the following procedures to configure RIP parameters on a system-wide and individual
interface basis.

Enabling RIP

RIP is disabled by default. To enable it, use the following method.

NOTE

You must enable the protocol globally and also on individual interfaces on which you want to
advertise RIP. Globally enabling the protocol does not enable it on individual interfaces.

To enable RIP globally, enter the following command.

TurboIron(config)#router rip

Syntax: [no] router rip

TABLE 96

RIP interface parameters

Parameter

Description

Default

See page...

RIP state and
version

The state of the protocol and the version that is
supported on the interface. The version can be one
of the following:

Version 1 only

Version 2 only

Version 1, but also compatible with version 2

NOTE: You also must enable RIP globally.

Disabled

Metric

A numeric cost the router adds to RIP routes learned
on the interface. This parameter applies only to RIP
routes.

1 (one)

Learning default
routes

Locally overrides the global setting. Refer to

Table 95

on page 592.

Disabled

Loop prevention

The method a router uses to prevent routing loops
caused by advertising a route on the same interface
as the one on which the router learned the route.

Split horizon – The router does not advertise a
route on the same interface as the one on
which the router learned the route.

Poison reverse – The router assigns a cost of
16 (“infinite” or “unreachable”) to a route
before advertising it on the same interface as
the one on which the router learned the route.

Poison reverse
NOTE: Enabling split

horizon disables
poison reverse on
the interface.

Advertising and
learning specific
routes

You can control the routes that a Layer 3 Switch
learns or advertises.

The Layer 3 Switch learns
and advertises all RIP
routes on all interfaces.
