Configuring An Additional Metric For A Rip Interface - HP MSR2000 series Configuration Manual

Configuring an additional metric for a RIP interface

Network requirements
In the following figure, RIP is enabled on all the interfaces of Switch A, Switch B, Switch C, Switch D, and
Switch E. The switches are interconnected through RIPv2.
Switch A has two links to Switch D. The link from Switch B to Switch D is more stable than that from Switch
C to Switch D. Configure an additional metric for RIP routes received through VLAN-interface 200 on
Switch A so that Switch A prefers the 1.1.5.0/24 network learned from Switch B.
