Patton electronic SmartNode 4110 Series Enabling holding down aged routes, Default 180 seconds

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide23 • RIP configuration

Mode: Interface

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(if-ip)[name]#rip poison-reverse	Enables the poison reverse algorithm on interface name

Example: Enabling the poison reverse algorithm

The following example shows how to enable the poison reverse algorithm on IP interface wan.

node(cfg)#context ip router node(ctx-ip)[router]#interface wan node(if-ip)[wan]#rip poison-reverse

Enabling holding down aged routes

Holding down or locking aged routes learned from RIP packets on the specified interface helps, if an aged route cannot be refreshed to a non-aged status but must be deleted and then relearned. Enabling this function enhances the stability of the RIP topology in the presence of transients.

This procedure describes how to enable holding down of aged routes on an interface

Mode: Interface

Step Command Purpose

1node(if-ip)[name]#riproute-holddownEnables holding down aged routes on interface name

Example: Enabling holding down aged routes

The following example shows how to enable holding down of aged routes on IP interface wan.

node(cfg)#context ip router node(ctx-ip)[router]#interface wan node(if-ip)[wan]#rip route-holddown

Setting the RIP route expiry

The rip route-expirycommand sets the route expiry timeout for routes learned from RIP.

Mode: interface ip

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(if-ip)[name]#rip route-expiry	Sets the RIP route expiry timeout.
	[1...3600]	Default: 180 seconds
