RIP global parameters (Continued) TABLE 49
Parameter Description Default
Redistribution RIP can redistribute routes from
other routing protocols such as
OSPF and BGP4 into RIP. A
redistributed route is one that a
router learns through another
protocol, then distributes into RIP. Disabled
Redistribution metric RIP assigns a RIP metric (cost) to
each external route redistributed
from another routing protocol into
RIP.
An external route is a route with at
least one hop (packets must travel
through at least one other router to
reach the destination). This
parameter applies to routes that are
redistributed from other protocols
into RIP.
1 (one)
Update Interval How often the router sends route
updates to its RIP neighbors. 30 seconds
Learning default routes The device can learn default routes
from its RIP neighbors.
NOTE
You also can enable or disable this
parameter on an individual interface
basis.
Disabled
Advertising and learning with
specific neighbors The device learns and advertises
RIP routes with all its neighbors by
default. You can prevent the deivce
from advertising routes to specific
neighbors or learning routes from
specific neighbors. Learning and advertising permitted
for all neighbors
