ICMP host unreachable message for undeliverable ARPs

If the router receives an ARP request packet that it is unable to deliver to the final destination
because of the ARP timeout and no ARP response is received (the router knows of no route to the
destination address), the router sends an ICMP Host Unreachable message to the source.

Description
The global state of the protocol.
NOTE: You also must enable the protocol on individual
interfaces. Globally enabling the protocol does not
allow interfaces to send and receive RIP information.
Refer to Table 172
The administrative distance is a numeric value assigned to
each type of route on the router.
When the router is selecting from among multiple routes
(sometimes of different origins) to the same destination, the
router compares the administrative distances of the routes and
selects the route with the lowest administrative distance.
This parameter applies to routes originated by RIP. The
administrative distance stays with a route when it is
redistributed into other routing protocols.
RIP can redistribute routes from other routing protocols such as
OSPF and BGP4 into RIP. A redistributed route is one that a
router learns through another protocol, then distributes into RIP.
RIP assigns a RIP metric (cost) to each external route
redistributed from another routing protocol into RIP. An external
route is a route with at least one hop (packets must travel
through at least one other router to reach the destination).
This parameter applies to routes that are redistributed from
other protocols into RIP.
