Changing the Update Interval for Route Advertisements

The update interval specifies how often the routing switch sends route advertisements to its RIP neighbors. You can specify an interval from 1 – 1000 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.

USING THE CLI

To change the RIP update interval, enter a command such as the following:

HP9300(config-rip-router)# update 120

This command configures the routing switch to send RIP updates every 120 seconds.

Syntax: update-time <1-1000>

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

1.Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration panel is displayed.

2.Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.

3.Click on the plus sign next to RIP in the tree view to expand the list of RIP option links.

4.Click on the General link to display the RIP configuration panel, shown in Figure 7.1 on page 7-10.

5.Enter a value from 1 – 1000 in the Update Time field.

6.Click the Apply button to save the change to the device’s running-config file.

7.To configure settings for another port, select the port (and slot, if applicable) and go to step 5.

8.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.

Enabling Learning and Advertising of RIP Default Routes

By default, the routing switch does not learn or advertise RIP default routes. You can enable learning and advertising of RIP default routes on a global or interface basis.

USING THE CLI

To enable learning of default RIP routes on a global basis, enter the following command:

HP9300(config-rip-router)# learn-default

To enable learning of default RIP routes on an interface basis, enter commands such as the following:

HP9300(config)# interface ethernet 1/1

HP9300(config-if-1/1)# ip rip learn-default

Syntax: [no] learn-default
