NOTE:

Only active routes can be redistributed. Use the display ip routing-table protocol command to display
route state information.

Tuning and optimizing RIP networks

Complete the following tasks before tuning and optimizing RIP networks:

Configure network addresses for interfaces, and make neighboring nodes reachable to each other

Configure RIP basic functions

Configuring RIP timers

You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting RIP timers.
Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view system-view

Enter RIP view

rip [ process-id ]

Configure values
for RIP timers

timers { garbage-collect
garbage-collect-value | suppress
suppress-value
| timeout timeout-value

| update update-value } *

Optional
The default update timer, timeout timer,
suppress timer, and garbage-collect timer are

30s, 180s, 120s and 120s respectively.

NOTE:

Based on network performance, you need to make RIP timers of RIP routers identical to each other to avoid
unnecessary traffic or route oscillation.

Configuring split horizon and poison reverse

The split horizon and poison reverse functions can prevent routing loops.
If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.

Enabling split horizon

Split horizon disables RIP from sending routes through the interface where the routes were learned to

prevent routing loops between adjacent routers.
Follow these steps to enable split horizon:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Enable split horizon

rip split-horizon

Optional
Enabled by default
