Configuring an additional metric for a RIP interface
Network requirements
RIP is enabled on all the interfaces of Switch A, Switch B, Switch C, Switch D, and Switch E, as shown
in
. The switches are interconnected through RIPv2.
Switch A has two links to Switch D. The link from Switch B to Switch D is more stable than that from Switch
C to Switch D. Configure an additional metric for RIP routes received through VLAN-interface 200 on
Switch A so Switch A prefers the 1.1.5.0/24 network learned from Switch B.
