IP ROUTING

Command Attributes

Global Settings

•RIP Routing Process – Enables RIP routing for all IP interfaces on the router. (Default: Disabled)

•Global RIP Version – Specifies a RIP version used globally by the router. (Default: RIP Version 1)

Timer Settings

•Update – Sets the rate at which updates are sent. This value will also set the timeout timer to 6 times the update time, and the garbage-collection timer to 4 times the update time. (Range: 15-60 seconds; Default: 30 seconds)

•Timeout – Sets the time after which there have been no update messages that a route is declared dead. The route is marked inaccessible (i.e., the metric set to infinite) and advertised as unreachable. However, packets are still forwarded on this route. (Default: 180 seconds)

•Garbage Collection – After the timeout interval expires, the router waits for an interval specified by the garbage-collectiontimer before removing this entry from the routing table. This timer allows neighbors to become aware of an invalid route prior to purging. (Default: 120 seconds)

Web - Click Routing Protocol, RIP, General Settings. Enable or disable RIP, set the RIP version used on previously unset interfaces to RIPv1 or RIPv2, set the basic update timer, and then click Apply.
