Configuring RIP parameters
RIP interface parameters
Table 96 lists the interface-level RIP parameters and their default values, and indicates where you
can find configuration information.
.
Configuring RIP parameters
Use the following procedures to configure RIP parameters on a system-wide and individual
interface basis.
Enabling RIP
RIP is disabled by default. To enable it, use the following method.
NOTE
You must enable the protocol globally and also on individual interfaces on which you want to
advertise RIP. Globally enabling the protocol does not enable it on individual interfaces.
To enable RIP globally, enter the following command.
TurboIron(config)#router rip
Syntax: [no] router rip
TABLE 96 RIP interface parameters
Parameter Description Default See page...
RIP state and
version The state of the protocol and the version that is
supported on the interface. The version can be one
of the following:
•
Version 1 only
•
Version 2 only
•
Version 1, but also compatible with version 2
NOTE: You also must enable RIP globally.
Disabled page 593
Metric A numeric cost the router adds to RIP routes learned
on the interface. This parameter applies only to RIP
routes. 1 (one) page 594
Learning default
routes Locally overrides the global setting. Refer to
Table 95 on page 592.
Disabled page 598
Loop prevention The method a router uses to prevent routing loops
caused by advertising a route on the same interface
as the one on which the router learned the route.
•
Split horizon – The router does not advertise a
route on the same interface as the one on
which the router learned the route.
•
Poison reverse – The router assigns a cost of
16 (“infinite” or “unreachable”) to a route
before advertising it on the same interface as
the one on which the router learned the route.
Poison reverse
NOTE: Enabling split
horizon disables
poison reverse on
the interface.

Advertising and
learning specific
routes You can control the routes that a Layer 3 Switch
learns or advertises. The Layer 3 Switch learns
and advertises all RIP
routes on all interfaces. page 600
