Disabling the router from receiving host routes

routes are of little help in route addressing but consume a lot of network resources. After a router is

Configuring RIP to filter incoming/outgoing routes
The route filtering function provided by a router enables you to configure inbound/outbound filter policy
by specifying an ACL, address prefix list, or route policy to make RIP filter incoming/outgoing routes.
Besides, you can configure RIP to receive only the RIP packets from a specific neighbor.
