Preference - HP 5920 Series Command Reference Manual

Usage guidelines
Do not use the peer ip-address command when the neighbor is directly connected. Otherwise, the
neighbor might receive both unicast and multicast (or broadcast) messages with the same routing
information.
This command must be executed together with the undo validate-source-address command, which
disables source IP address check on inbound RIP routing updates.
Examples
# Configure RIP to unicast updates to peer 202.38.165.1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] rip 1
[Sysname-rip-1] peer 202.38.165.1

route-policy route-policy-name: Specifies a routing policy by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 63
characters.
value: Specifies a preference for RIP routes, in the range of 1 to 255. The smaller the value, the higher the

Usage guidelines
You can specify a routing policy by using the keyword route-policy to set a preference for matching RIP
routes.
The preference set by the routing policy applies to all matching RIP routes. The preference of other
•
routes is set by the preference command.
• If no preference is set by the routing policy, the preference of all RIP routes is set by the preference
command.
