RIP
Table 80: RIP Interface Parameters (continued)
Field | Description |
|
|
Reference IP | The IP address borrowed for an unnumbered interface. |
Address | A value of 0.0.0.0 indicates either that the IP address is not valid, or |
| that the IP interface is borrowing the IP address from a dynamic IP |
| interface whose IP address is not allocated yet. |
| If the IP address is not unnumbered this field returns a value of N/A. |
|
|
State | The operational status of the RIP interface - active or inactive. |
|
|
Status | The administrative status of the RIP interface. If checked, the RIP |
| interface status is enabled. If unchecked, it is disabled. |
|
|
RIP Version | The router can be configured to operate either RIP version 1 or RIP |
| version 2 on each IP interface. The configuration of the RIP version |
| must be consistent on each subnet. That is, all routers should be |
| configured with the same RIP version on their interface to the subnet. |
| When possible, homogeneous configuration of the RIP version in the |
| network is recommended. |
| ● Rip1 - The router runs regular RIP on that interface, following |
| the RIP version 1 subnet aggregation rules. That is, it advertises |
| an aggregate route for the net as opposed to advertising subnet |
| routes across the network boundary. |
| ● Rip2 - The router runs RIP version 2 on that interface. RIP |
| version 2 advertisements are sent as multicast rather than |
| broadcast. No route aggregation is done in RIP version 2. RIP |
| version 2 allows for Variable Length Subnets Masks (VLSM), |
| meaning that subnets of the same net may have masks of |
| different lengths, and may be of different sizes. |
|
|
Send Receive Mode | What the device sends on this interface. Values are: |
| ● |
| ● |
| This advertises the router as the default router. |
| ● |
|
|
Cost | The cost of using this interface. RIP chooses the route with the lowest |
| total cost (metric) for each destination. |
|
|
Default Route | The metric of the default route entry in RIP updates originated on this |
Metric | interface, if configured to SendDefaultOnly. |
|
|
Default Route Mode | If |
| from other routes on this interface. If |
| route entries in RIP messages received from other routes on this |
| interface. |
