Configuring RIP parameters
This command assigns a RIP metric of 10 to each route that is redistributed into RIP.
Syntax: [no] default-metric <1-15>
Enabling redistribution
After you configure redistribution parameters, you need to enable redistribution.
To enable RIP redistribution, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#redistribution
Syntax: [no] redistribution
The no form of this command disables RIP redistribution.
Removing a RIP redistribution deny filter
To remove a previously configured RIP redistribution deny filter, do the following.
1. Remove the RIP redistribution deny filter.
2. Disable the redistribution function.
3. Re-enable redistribution.
The following shows an example of how to remove a RIP redistribution deny filter.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#no deny redistribute 2 all address 207.92.0.0
255.255.0.0
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#no redistribution
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#redistribution

Configuring route learning and advertising parameters

By default, a Layer 3 Switch learns routes from all its RIP neighbors and advertises RIP routes to
those neighbors.
You can configure the following learning and advertising parameters:
•
•
•
Changing the update interval for route advertisements
The update interval specifies how often the Layer 3 Switch sends route advertisements to its RIP
neighbors. You can specify an interval from 1 through 1000 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
To change the RIP update interval, enter a command such as the following.
914
Update interval – The update interval specifies how often the Layer 3 Switch sends RIP route
advertisements to its neighbors You can change the interval to a value from 1 through 1000
seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
Learning and advertising of RIP default routes – The Layer 3 Switch learns and advertises RIP
default routes by default. You can disable learning and advertising of default routes on a
global or individual interface basis.
Learning of standard RIP routes – By default, the Layer 3 Switch learns RIP routes from all its
RIP neighbors. You can configure RIP neighbor filters to explicitly permit or deny learning from
specific neighbors.
