RIP parameters and defaults
Brocade Layer 3 Switches support the following RIP versions:
• Version (V1)
• V1 compatible with V2
• Version (V2) (the default)
RIP parameters and defaults
The following tables list the RIP parameters, their default values, and where to find configuration
information.
RIP global parameters
Table 28 lists the global RIP parameters and their default values, and indicates where you can find
configuration information.
TABLE 28 RIP global parameters
Parameter Description Default Reference
RIP state The global state of the protocol.
NOTE: You also must enable the protocol on individual
interfaces. Globally enabling the protocol does not
allow interfaces to send and receive RIP information.
Refer to
Table 29 on page 143.

Administrative
distance The administrative distance is a numeric value assigned to
each type of route on the router.
When the router is selecting from among multiple routes
(sometimes of different origins) to the same destination, the
router compares the administrative distances of the routes and
selects the route with the lowest administrative distance.
This parameter applies to routes originated by RIP. The
administrative distance stays with a route when it is
redistributed into other routing protocols. 120 page 146
Redistribution RIP can redistribute routes from other routing protocols such as
OSPF and BGP4 into RIP. A redistributed route is one that a
router learns through another protocol, then distributes into RIP. Disabled page 146
Redistribution
metric RIP assigns a RIP metric (cost) to each external route
redistributed from another routing protocol into RIP. An external
route is a route with at least one hop (packets must travel
through at least one other router to reach the destination).
This parameter applies to routes that are redistributed from
other protocols into RIP. 1 (one) page 148
Update interval How often the router sends route updates to its RIP neighbors. 30 seconds page 149
