Configuring RIP Network Optimization
Complete the following tasks before configuring RIP network optimization:
z
Configure network addresses for interfaces, and make neighboring nodes reachable to each other;
z
Configure RIP basic functions.
Configuring RIP Timers
Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:
To do…
Use the command…

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.
Based on network performance, you need to make RIP timers of RIP routers identical to each other to
avoid unnecessary traffic or route oscillation.
Configuring Split Horizon and Poison Reverse
If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.
Enabling split horizon
The split horizon function disables an interface from sending routes received from the interface to
prevent routing loops between adjacent routers.
Follow these steps to enable split horizon:
To do…
Use the command…
