IP Routing Features

Configuring RIP

Default Metric – Sets the default metric for imported routes. This is the metric that will be advertised with the imported route to other RIP peers. A RIP metric is a measurement used to determine the 'best' path to network; 1 is the best, 15 is the worse, 16 is unreachable.

Route changes – The number of times RIP has modified the routing switch’s routing table.

Queries – The number of RIP queries that have been received by the routing switch.

RIP Interface Information – RIP information on the VLAN interfaces on which RIP is enabled.

IP Address – IP address of the VLAN interface running rip.

Status – Status of RIP on the VLAN interface.

Send mode – The format of the RIP updates: RIP 1, RIP 2, or RIP 2 version 1 compatible.

Recv mode – The Series 5300XL Switches can process RIP 1, RIP 2, or RIP 2 version 1 compatible update messages.

Metric – The path “cost”, a measurement used to determine the 'best' RIP route path; 1 is the best, 15 is the worse, 16 is unreachable.

Auth – RIP messages can be required to include an authentication key if enabled on the interface.

RIP Peer Information – RIP Peers are neighboring routers from which the routing switch has received RIP updates.

IP Address – IP address of the RIP neighbor.

Bad routes – The number of route entries which were not processed for any reason.

Last update timeticks – How many seconds have passed since we received an update from this neighbor.
