Configuring Routing Information Protocol
The CSS enables you to configure global Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
attributes used to advertise routes on the CSS. By default, RIP advertises RIP
routes and local routes for interfaces running RIP. The rip command advertises
other routes.
The timers used by RIP in the CSS include the following default values. These
RIP timer values are not user-configurable in the CSS.
•Transmit (Tx) time that is a random value between 15 and 45 seconds (it
avoids router synchronization problems
•Route expiration time of 180 seconds (if the CSS loses the link to the next
hop router, the route is immediately removed).
•Hold-down time (the amount of time the CSS transmits with an infinite
metric) of 120 seconds.
This chapter contains the following major sections:
•RIP Configuration Quick Start
•Configuring RIP Advertise
•Configuring RIP Redistribute
•Configuring Equal-Cost RIP Routes
•Showing RIP Configurations
Note If you prefer OSPF instead of RIP on the CSS, refer to Chapter 3, Configuring
Open Shortest Path First, for information on configuring OSPF.
