Enabling poison reverse

Poison reverse allows RIP to send routes through the interface where the routes were learned, but the

metric of these routes is always set to 16 (unreachable) to avoid routing loops between neighbors.
Follow these steps to enable poison reverse:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Enable poison reverse

rip poison-reverse

Required
Disabled by default

Configuring the maximum number of load balanced routes

This task allows you to implement load balancing over multiple equal-cost RIP routes.
Follow these steps to configure the maximum number of load balanced routes:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter RIP view

rip [ process-id ]

Configure the maximum number of
load balanced routes

maximum load-balancing number

Optional
6 by default

Enabling zero field check on incoming RIPv1 messages

Some fields in the RIPv1 message must be zero. These fields are called “zero fields”. You can enable zero

field check on received RIPv1 messages. If such a field contains a non-zero value, the RIPv1 message will

not be processed. If you are sure that all messages are trusty, disable zero field check to save CPU

resources.
This feature does not apply to RIPv2 packets that have no zero fields.
Follow these steps to enable zero field check on incoming RIPv1 messages:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter RIP view

rip [ process-id ]

Enable zero field check on
received RIPv1 messages

checkzero

Optional
Enabled by default

Enabling source IP address check on incoming RIP updates
