RIP parameter configuration
• Update interval – The update interval specifies how often the Layer 3 Switch sends RIP route
advertisements to its neighbors You can change the interval to a value from 1 through 1000
seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
• Learning and advertising of RIP default routes – The Layer 3 Switch learns and advertises RIP
default routes by default. You can disable learning and advertising of default routes on a
global or individual interface basis.
• Learning of standard RIP routes – By default, the Layer 3 Switch learns RIP routes from all its
RIP neighbors. You can configure RIP neighbor filters to explicitly permit or deny learning from
specific neighbors.
Changing the update interval for route advertisements
The update interval specifies how often the Layer 3 Switch sends route advertisements to its RIP
neighbors. You can specify an interval from 1 through 1000 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
To change the RIP update interval, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-rip-router)#update-time 120
This command configures the Layer 3 Switch to send RIP updates every 120 seconds.
Syntax: update-time interval
The valid values for interval are from 1 to 1000.
Enabling learning of RIP default routes
You can enable learning of RIP default routes on a global or individual interface basis.
To enable learning of default RIP routes on a global basis, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-rip-router)#learn-default
Syntax: [no] learn-default
To enable learning of default RIP routes on an individual interface basis, enter commands such as
the following.
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/1)#ip rip learn-default
Syntax: [no] ip rip learn-default
Configuring a RIP neighbor filter
By default, a Brocade Layer 3 Switch learns RIP routes from all its RIP neighbors. Neighbor filters
allow you to specify the neighbor routers from which the Brocade device can receive RIP routes.
Neighbor filters apply globally to all ports.
To configure a RIP neighbor filter, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-rip-router)#neighbor 1 deny any
This command configures the Layer 3 Switch so that the device does not learn any RIP routes from
any RIP neighbors.
Syntax: [no] neighbor filter-num permit | deny source-ip-address | any
