Configuring Rip Network Management; Configuring The Rip Packet Sending Rate; Setting The Maximum Length Of Rip Packets - HPE FlexNetwork 5510 HI Series Configuration Manual

Configuring RIP network management

You can use network management software to manage the RIP process to which MIB is bound.
To configure RIP network management:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Bind MIB to a RIP
2.
process.

Configuring the RIP packet sending rate

Perform this task to set the interval for sending RIP packets and the maximum number of RIP
packets that can be sent at each interval. This feature can avoid excessive RIP packets from
affecting system performance and consuming too much bandwidth.
To configure the RIP packet sending rate:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enter RIP view.
2.
Set the interval for sending
3.
RIP packets and the
maximum number of RIP
packets that can be sent at
each interval.
Return to system view.
4.
Enter interface view.
5.
Set the interval for sending
6.
RIP packets and the
maximum number of RIP
packets that can be sent at
each interval.

Setting the maximum length of RIP packets

CAUTION:
The supported maximum length of RIP packets varies by vendor. Use this feature with caution to
avoid compatibility issues.
The packet length of RIP packets determines how many routes can be carried in a RIP packet. Set
the maximum length of RIP packets to make good use of link bandwidth.
When authentication is enabled, follow these guidelines to ensure packet forwarding:
• For simple authentication, the maximum length of RIP packets must be no less than 52 bytes.
• For MD5 authentication (with packet format defined in RFC 2453), the maximum length of RIP
packets must be no less than 56 bytes.

Remarks
N/A
By default, MIB is bound to the
RIP process with the smallest
process ID.
Remarks
N/A
N/A
By default, an interface sends up
to three RIP packets every 20
milliseconds.
N/A
N/A
By default, the interface uses the
RIP packet sending rate
configured for the RIP process
that the interface runs.
