3Com MSR 50 Ipx rip mtu, Ipx rip multiplier, Example # Enable static route redistribution to RIP

Note that RIP only redistributes active static routes, rather than inactive routes.

ipx rip mtu

Parameter bytes: Maximum RIP updating packet size in bytes, ranging from 432 to 1,500.

Description Use the ipx rip mtu command to configure the maximum RIP updating packet size.

Use the undo ipx rip mtu command to restore the default.

The default is 432 bytes.

In RIP updating packets, the size of each routing information item is 8 bytes and the size of IPX header plus RIP header is 32 bytes. So an updating packet can carry up to 50 routing information items at most.

Example # Specify the maximum RIP updating packet size as 500 bytes on the interface Ethernet 1/0.

Parameter multiplier: Used to calculate the aging period of RIP routing items, ranging from 1 to 1000. The actual aging time is the value of multiplier multiplied by the RIP updating interval.

Description Use the ipx rip multiplier command to configure the aging interval of IPX RIP routing items.
