To do…
Use the command…
Remarks
Configure a default metric for
redistributed routes
default cost value
Optional
The default metric of a redistributed
route is 0.
Redistribute routes from another
protocol
import-route protocol [ process-id
| all-processes | allow-ibgp ] [ cost
cost | route-policy
route-policy-name | tag tag ] *
Required
No redistribution is configured by
default.
NOTE:
Only active routes can be redistributed. Use the display ip routing-table protocol command to display
route state information.
Tuning and optimizing RIP networks
Complete the following tasks before tuning and optimizing RIP networks:
•
Configure network addresses for interfaces, and make neighboring nodes reachable to each other
•
Configure RIP basic functions
Configuring RIP timers
You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting RIP timers.
Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:
To do…
Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view
system-view
––
Enter RIP view
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
––
Configure values for RIP timers
timers { garbage-collect
garbage-collect-value | suppress
suppress-value | timeout
timeout-value | update
update-value } *
Optional
The default update timer, timeout
timer, suppress timer, and
garbage-collect timer are 30s,
180s, 120s and 120s
respectively.
NOTE:
Based on network performance, make RIP timers of RIP routers identical to each other to avoid
unnecessary traffic or route oscillation.
Configuring split horizon and poison reverse
NOTE:
If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.
The split horizon and poison reverse functions can avoid routing loops.
