To edit RIP Interface Table fields:
1. Display the RIP Interface Table.
2. Select an entry in the table.
3. Click . The RIP Interface Table Edit window opens:
Figure 6- 98. RIP Interface Table Edit window
The RIP Interface Table Edit window display the following fields:
♦ Default Route Metric – Metric for the default route entry in RIP updates originated on this
interface. Zero indicates that no default route is originated.
♦ Auto Send – When this parameter is enabled, this device advertises RIP messages in the
default metric only. This allows some stations to learn the default router address. If the device
detects another RIP message, Auto Send is disabled. Enable this parameter to minimize network
traffic when the device is the only router on the network.
♦ Virtual Distance – Virtual number of hops assigned to the interface. This fine-tunes the RIP
routing algorithm.
4. Edit the required fields. The IP Address field cannot be modified.
5. Click .
6. Close the RIP Interface Table Edit window. The RIP Interface Table opens.
7. Click . When the Status field displays "Finished!", the fields are confirmed as modified.
RIP Filters
IP RIP filtering is a device feature that improves aggregate routing performance. Defining IP RIP filters
reduces the RIP table size to the relevant IP subnets, allowing for a faster table lookup and relearning
memory for other purposes. RIP filters are supported from software version 3.03 and up.
To display the RIP filters:
♦ Select Router > IP > RIP > RIP Filters. The IP RIP Filter window opens:
