Configuring Route Learning And Advertising Parameters - Brocade Communications Systems FastIron SX 800 Configuration Manual

Configuring RIP parameters
The static keyword applies redistribution to IP static routes.
The metric value parameter sets the RIP metric value from 1 through 15 that will be applied to the routes imported into RIP.
The route-map name parameter indicates the route map's name.
Matching based on RIP protocol type
The match option has been added to the route-map command that allows statically configured routes or the routes learned from the IGP
protocol RIP.
To configure the route map to match to RIP, enter the match protocol rip command.
device(config-routemap test)# match protocol rip
Syntax: [no] match protocol rip
Changing the default redistribution metric
When the Brocade device redistributes a route into RIP, the software assigns a RIP metric (cost) to the route. By default, the software
assigns a metric of 1 to each route that is redistributed into RIP. You can increase the metric that the Brocade device assigns, up to 15.
To change the RIP metric the Brocade device assigns to redistributed routes, enter a command such as the following.
device(config-rip-router)# default-metric 10
This command assigns a RIP metric of 10 to each route that is redistributed into RIP.
Syntax: [no] default-metric 1-15

Configuring route learning and advertising parameters

By default, a Brocade device learns routes from all its RIP neighbors and advertises RIP routes to those neighbors.
You can configure the following learning and advertising parameters:
• Update interval - The update interval specifies how often the device sends RIP route advertisements to its neighbors You can
change the interval to a value from 3 through 65535 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
• Learning and advertising of RIP default routes - The Brocade device can learn and advertise RIP default routes. You can disable
learning and advertising of default routes on a global or individual interface basis.
• Learning of standard RIP routes - By default, the Brocade device can learn RIP routes from all its RIP neighbors. You can
configure RIP neighbor filters to explicitly permit or deny learning from specific neighbors.
Changing the update interval for route advertisements
The update interval specifies how often the device sends route advertisements to its RIP neighbors. You can specify an interval from 3
through 21,845 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
To change the RIP update interval, enter the update-time command.
device(config-rip-router)# update-time 120
This command configures the device to send RIP updates every 120 seconds.
Syntax: update-time value
