Enabling Holding Down Aged Routes; Setting The Rip Route Expiry - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Mode: Interface
Step Command
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
1 node(if-ip)[name]#rip route-holddown Enables 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-expiry command sets the route expiry timeout for routes learned from RIP.
