RIP parameter configuration
RIP parameter configuration
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 procedure.
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 router rip command.
Brocade(config)#router rip
Syntax: [no] router rip
After globally enabling the protocol, you must enable it on individual interfaces. You can enable the
protocol on physical interfaces as well as virtual routing interfaces. To enable RIP on an interface,
enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/1)#ip rip v1-only
Syntax: [no] ip rip v1-only | v1-compatible-v2 | v2-only
NOTE
You must specify the RIP version.
Enabling ECMP for routes in RIP
ECMP for routes in RIP is disabled by default. Use the ecmp-enable command to enable the feature
at the router rip level.
Brocade(config-rip-router)#ecmp-enable
Syntax: [no] ecmp-enable
Configuring metric parameters
By default, a Brocade Layer 3 Switch port increases the cost of a RIP route that is learned on the
port by one. You can configure individual ports to add more than one to a learned route cost. In
addition, you can configure a RIP offset list to increase the metric for learned or advertised routes
based on network address.
Changing the cost of routes learned on a port
By default, a Brocade Layer 3 Switch port increases the cost of a RIP route that is learned on the
port. The Layer 3 Switch increases the cost by adding one to the route metric before storing the
route.
