RIP parameters and defaults

RIP interface parameters

Table 29

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

can find configuration information.

.

Learning
default routes

The router can learn default routes from its RIP neighbors.
NOTE: You also can enable or disable this parameter on an

individual interface basis. Refer to

Table 29

on

page 143.

Disabled

Advertising
and learning
with specific
neighbors

The Layer 3 Switch learns and advertises RIP routes with all its
neighbors by default. You can prevent the Layer 3 Switch from
advertising routes to specific neighbors or learning routes from
specific neighbors.

Learning and
advertising
permitted for

Description

Default

Reference

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.

Metric

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

Learning default
routes

Locally overrides the global setting. Refer to

Table 28

on page 142.

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.
