To configure a priority for RIP:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter RIP view.
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
N/A
3. Configure a priority for RIP. preference [ route-policy
route-policy-name ] value
Optional.
100 by default.
Configuring RIP route redistribution
If a router runs RIP and other routing protocols, you can configure RIP to redistribute OSPF, IS-IS, BGP,
static, and direct routes.
Only active routes can be redistributed. You can use the display ip routing-table protocol command to
display route state information.
To configure RIP route redistribution:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter RIP view.
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
N/A
3. Configure a default metric
for redistributed routes.
default cost value
Optional.
The default metric of a
redistributed route is 0.
4. Redistribute routes from
another protocol.
import-route protocol [ process-id |
all-processes | allow-ibgp ] [ cost cost
| route-policy route-policy-name | tag
tag ] *
By default, no redistribution is
configured.
Tuning and optimizing RIP networks
Before you tune and optimize RIP networks, complete the following tasks:
• Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.
• Configure basic RIP.
Configuring RIP timers
You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting RIP timers. Based on network
performance, make RIP timers of RIP routers identical to each other to avoid unnecessary traffic or route
oscillation.
To configure RIP timers:
