Creating RIP Routing

To set a routing policy, you need to know the following parameters:

Policy type — The determination whether to accept a route into the

routing table (import) or advertise a route from the routing table

Source address — The routing device that is sending the route to

Route address — The actual device IP address of the route origin

Route subnet mask — The subnet mask of the device IP address of

the route origin

IP interface — The IP interface on your system that the route is

coming in on

The policy takes effect on the selected interface only if the origin protocol

matches the protocol enabled for the interface selected.

Policy action — The determination whether to accept or reject the

Metric adjustment — The determination to increase or decrease the

route metric (the number of hops) for the route

Administrative weight — The level of importance of this policy: 1 is

low priority, 16 is high priority

Sketch a topology of your routers and the proposed routing policies of

each to get an understanding of how the routers work together and how

traffic flows.
