NOTE: This menu is available only on the GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch.

The RIP Menu is used for configuring Routing Information Protocol parameters. This option is turned off by default. NOTE: Do not configure RIP version 1 parameters if your routing equipment uses RIP version 2.

The following table describes the RIP Interface Configuration Menu options.

Table 132 RIP Interface Configuration Menu options

Command

Description

 

 

version 12both

Configures the RIP version used by this interface.

 

The default value is version 2.

 

 

supply disableenable

When enabled, the switch supplies routes to other routers. This command is

 

enabled by default.

 

 

listen disableenable

When enabled, the switch learns routes from other routers. This command is

 

enabled by default.

 

 

poison disableenable

When enabled, the switch uses split horizon with poisoned reverse. When

 

disabled, the switch uses only split horizon. The default value is disabled.

 

 

split disableenable

Enables or disables split horizon. The default value is enabled.

 

 

trigg disableenable

Enables or disables Triggered Updates. Triggered Updates are used to speed

 

convergence. When enabled, Triggered Updates force a router to send update

 

messages immediately, even if it is not yet time for the update message. The

 

default value is disabled.

 

 

mcast disableenable

Enables or disables multicast updates of the routing table (using address

 

224.0.0.9). The default value is enabled.

 

 

default disableenable

When enabled, the switch accepts RIP default routes from other routers, but

 

gives them lower priority than configured default gateways. When disabled,

 

the switch rejects RIP default routes. The default value is disabled.

 

 

metric <1-15>

Configures the route metric, which indicates the relative distance to the

 

destination. The default value is 1.

 

 

auth nonepassword

Configures the authentication type. The default is none.

 

 

key

Configures the authentication key password.

 

 

enable

Enables this RIP interface.

 

 

disable

Disables this RIP interface.

 

 

cur

Displays the current RIP configuration.
