Configuring RIP Network Optimization

Complete the following tasks before configuring RIP network optimization:

z

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

z

Configure RIP basic functions.

Configuring RIP Timers

Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

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.

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

If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.

Enabling split horizon

The split horizon function disables an interface from sending routes received from the interface to
prevent routing loops between adjacent routers.

Follow these steps to enable split horizon:

To do…

Use the command…
