Setting The Rip Triggered Update Interval; Specifying A Rip Neighbor - HP FlexFabric 12900E Series Configuration Manual

RIPv2 supports two authentication modes: simple authentication and MD5 authentication.
To configure RIPv2 message authentication:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure
authentication.

Setting the RIP triggered update interval

Perform this task to avoid network overhead and reduce system resource consumption caused by
frequent RIP triggered updates.
You can use the timer triggered command to set the maximum interval, minimum interval, and
incremental interval for sending RIP triggered updates.
•
For a stable network, the minimum-interval is used.
•
If network changes become frequent, the incremental interval incremental-interval is used to
extend the triggered update sending interval until the maximum-interval is reached.
To set the triggered update interval:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter RIP view.
3. Set the RIP triggered
update interval.

Specifying a RIP neighbor

Typically RIP messages are sent in broadcast or multicast. To enable RIP on a link that does not
support broadcast or multicast, you must manually specify RIP neighbors.
Follow these guidelines when you specify a RIP neighbor:
•
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 of the same
routing information.
•
If the specified neighbor is not directly connected, disable source address check on incoming
updates.
To specify a RIP neighbor:
Command
system-view
interface interface-type interface-number
rip authentication-mode { md5 { rfc2082
RIPv2
{ cipher | plain } string key-id | rfc2453
{ cipher | plain } string } | simple { cipher |
