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-collection timer 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)
