3Com 10014299 manual Configure RIP updating period, Configure RIP aging period

			Configure IPX 375
Table 410 Configure RIP updating period
	Operation	Command
	Configure RIP updating period	ipx rip timer update seconds
	Restore default value of RIP updating period	undo ipx	rip timer update

By default, the time interval for RIP updating period is adjusted to be 60 seconds.

cConfigure aging period of IPX RIP

Perform the following task in system view.

Table 411 Configure RIP aging period

Operation	Command
Adjust RIP aging period	ipx rip multiplier multiplier
Restore default value of RIP aging period	undo ipx rip multiplier

By default, the aging period of a routing table item is 3 times that of RIP updating period. In other words, if a routing table item is not updated after 3 RIP updating periods, it will be deleted from the table, so will the corresponding dynamic service information table item be deleted from the server information table.

dConfigure the maximum size of RIP update packet

Perform the following task in interface view.

Table 412 Configure the maximum size of RIP update packet

Operation	Command
Configure the maximum size of RIP update packet	ipx rip mtu bytes
Restore default value of RIP updated packet size	undo ipx rip mtu

By default, the maximum size of the RIP update packet is 432 bytes.

eConfigure the maximum number of IPX parallel route

Usually, there is more than one best route to the same destination, which are called parallel routes. When the number of parallel route (N) configured exceeds 1, the system will implement load-sharing function automatically. Reuse multiple paths to send data.

Configuring parallel routes can decrease the possibility of congestion, but occupy relatively large memory. Parallel routes are not recommended when the memory is not abundant, however, to configure parallel routes can reduce the probability of blockage.

Perform the following task in system view.

Table 413 Configure the maximum number of IPX parallel route

Operation	Command
Configure the maximum number of IPX parallel route	ipx rip load-balance-path
	number
Restore the maximum number of IPX parallel route to	undo ipx rip
default	load-balance-path

By default, there is one parallel route to a destination.
