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:
	● Talk-listen- RIP updates contain the entire routing table.
	● Talkdefault-listen- RIP updates contain only a single entry.
	This advertises the router as the default router.
	● Listen-only- No RIP updates are sent.
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 talk-listen, accepts default route entries in RIP messages received
	from other routes on this interface. If talk-only, does not accept default
	route entries in RIP messages received from other routes on this
	interface.
