Chapter 4: RIP Configuration Guide

Configure RIP Route Default-Metric

You can define the metric used when advertising routes via RIP that were learned from other protocols. The default value for this parameter is 16 (unreachable). To export routes from other protocols into RIP, you must explicitly specify a value for the default-metric parameter. The metric specified by the default-metric parameter may be overridden by a metric specified in the export command.

To configure default-metric, enter the following command in Configure mode.

Define the metric used when advertising routes via RIP that were learned from other protocols.

rip set default-metric <num>

For <num>, you must specify a number between 1 and 16.

Monitoring RIP

The rip trace command can be used to trace all rip request and response packets.

To monitor RIP information, enter the following commands in Enable mode.

Show all RIP information.

rip show all
