Configuring A Passive Interface For Rip; Redistributing Routes Into Rip - Motorola BSR 2000 Configuration And Management Manual

Release 1.0

Configuring a Passive Interface for RIP

You can configure a passive interface to prevent other routers on a local network from
learning about routes dynamically. A passive interface does not transmit routing
updates.
1. Use the passive-interface command in Router Configuration mode to create a
2. Use the passive-interface default command in Router Configuration mode to

Redistributing Routes into RIP

Each routing protocol uses different metrics to transfer routes. Some protocols use
hop count metrics, while others use bandwidth and delay attributes to define metrics.
When a specific route is redistributed from one routing protocol or domain into
another, a common metric must be applied by the receiving protocol. Routes are
redistributed to advertise networks on another routing protocol.
Note: The metric values for applying non-RIP routes are limited to values
from 1 to 16, which are the metrics used by RIP. RIP metrics are established
by hop-counts.

passive RIP interface, as shown in the following example:
MOT(config-rip)# passive-interface {cable <X/Y> | ethernet <X/Y> |
gigaether <X/Y>}
where:
cable is the cable interface.
ethernet is the Ethernet/Fast Ethernet interface.
gigaether is the Gigabit Ethernet interface.
X is 0.
Y is the port number.
suppress routing updates on all RIP interfaces:
MOT(config-rip)# passive-interface default <X/Y>
where:
X is 0.
Y is the port number.
