Configuration Tasks

Configuring RIP timers

Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:

To do...	Use the command...	Remarks
Enter system view	system-view	—
Enter RIP view	rip	—
	timers { update	Required
Set the RIP timers	update-timer timeout	By default, the Update timer is 30 seconds
	timeout-timer } *	and the Timeout timer 180 seconds.

When configuring the values of RIP timers, you should take network performance into consideration and perform consistent configuration on all routers running RIP to avoid unnecessary network traffic and network route oscillation.

Configuring split horizon

Follow these steps to configure split horizon:

To do...	Use the command...	Remarks
Enter system view	system-view	—
Enter interface view	interface interface-type interface-number	—
Enable split horizon	rip split-horizon	Required
		Enabled by default

Split horizon cannot be disabled on a point-to-point link.
