If Redistribute Static Route is enabled, select an option for the Redistribute
Static Metric field. The following options are available:
• Transparent—Causes RIP to use the routing table metric as the RIP metric for
the propagated static route configuration. This results in the following
behavior:
- If the metric value of a static route is equal to or less than 15, this value is
used in the RIP protocol when advertising this static route.
- If the metric value of a static route is greater than 15, the static route is not
advertised to other routers using RIP.
• Default Metric—Causes RIP to use the default metric value for the
propagated static route configuration (refer to
Configuration).
RIP Settings on an IP Interface
To configure RIP on an IP interface:
Click IP Configuration > RIPv2 > RIPv2 Settings. The RIPv2 Settings page is
displayed.
RIP parameters are displayed per IP interface.
To add a new IP interface, click Add to open the Add RIPv2 Settings page and
enter the following fields:
• IP Address—Select an IP interface defined on the Layer 2 interface.
• Shutdown—Select to shut down the router.
• Passive—Specifies whether or not sending RIP route update messages is
allowed on the specified IP interface. If this field is not enabled, RIP updates
are not sent (passive).
• Offset—Specifies the metric number of the specified IP interface. This
reflects the additional cost of using this interface, based on the speed of the
interface.
• Authentication—RIP authentication state (enable/disable) on a specified IP
interface. The following options are available:
- None—There is no authentication performed.
