Default: Other routes are not introduced to RIP by default. If routes of the other routing
protocols are introduced without metric value, the default metric value is used.
Command mode: RIP configuration Mode
Usage Guide: Use this command to introduce routes of the other routing protocols as RIP
route to improve RIP performance.
Example: Set on the route metric of OSPF route to 5, and static route metric to 8.
Switch(Config-Router-Rip)#redistribute ospf metric 5
Switch(Config-Router-Rip)#redistribute static metric 8
Command: rip broadcast
no rip broadcast
Function: Configure RIP layer3 switch allow all ports to send broadcast/multicast packets;
the “no rip broadcast” command disables all ports to send broadcast/multicast packets,
instead, only neighbor layer3 switches can exchange RIP packets.
Default: RIP broadcast packets are sent by default.
Command mode: RIP configuration Mode
Command: rip checkzero
no rip checkzero
Function: Use this command to ch eck the zero fields of RIP-I packets, the "no rip
checkzero“ command cancel this check for zero field. Since there are no zero fields in
RIP-II packets, this command has no effect on RIP-II packets.
Default: Zero field check for RIP-I packets is performed by default.
Command mode: RIP configuration mode
Usage Guide: RIP-I packet must have zero field, this command can be used to
enable/disable check for RIP-I packet zero field. If non-zero zero field found in RIP-I
packet, that RIP-I packet will be discarded.
Example: Disable zero field check for RIP-I packets.
Switch(Config-router-rip)#no ip checkzero
Command: rip preference <value>
no rip preference
