RIP global parameters (Continued)
Description
The router can learn default routes from its RIP neighbors.
NOTE: You also can enable or disable this parameter on an
individual interface basis. Refer to
page 909.
The Layer 3 Switch learns and advertises RIP routes with all its
neighbors by default. You can prevent the Layer 3 Switch from
advertising routes to specific neighbors or learning routes from
specific neighbors.

RIP interface parameters
Description
The state of the protocol and the version that is
supported on the interface. The version can be
one of the following:
•
Version 1 only
•
Version 2 only
•
Version 1, but also compatible with version 2
NOTE: You also must enable RIP globally.
A numeric cost the router adds to RIP routes
learned on the interface. This parameter applies
only to RIP routes.
Locally overrides the global setting. Refer to
Table 171 on page 908.
The method a router uses to prevent routing loops
caused by advertising a route on the same
interface as the one on which the router learned
the route.
•
Split horizon – The router does not advertise
a route on the same interface as the one on
which the router learned the route.
•
Poison reverse – The router assigns a cost of
16 ("infinite" or "unreachable") to a route
before advertising it on the same interface
as the one on which the router learned the
route.
You can control the routes that a Layer 3 Switch
learns or advertises.
