3.4.2 Configuring RIP Route Control
I. Setting the additional routing metrics of an interface
Additional routing metric is the routing metric (hop count) added to the original metrics
of RIP routes on an interface. It does not change the metric value of a RIP route in the
routing table, but will be added for incoming or outgoing RIP routes on the interface.
Table 3-5 Set additional routing metric
Operation
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Set the
routing metric to be
added for incoming RIP
routes on this interface
Set the
routing metric to be
added for outgoing RIP
routes on this interface
Note:
The rip metricout command takes effect only on the RIP routes learnt by the router
and the RIP routes generated by the router itself, but not on any route imported to RIP
from other routing protocols.
II. Configuring RIP route summary
Route summary means that different subnet routes in the same natural network
segment can be aggregated into one route with a natural mask for transmission to
another network segment. This function is used to reduce the routing traffic on the
network as well as to reduce the size of the routing table.
Route summary does not work for RIP-1. RIP-2 supports route summary. When it is
needed to advertise all subnet routes, you can disable the function for RIP-2.
