• Transparent—Causes RIP to use the routing table metric as the RIP metric for the
propagated static route configuration. This results in the following behavior:
- If the metric value of a static route is equal to or less than 15, this value is used in
the RIP protocol when advertising this static route.
- If the metric value of a static route is greater than 15, the static route is not advertised
to other routers using RIP.
• User Defined Metric—Enter the value of the metric.
Click Apply. The settings are written to the Running Configuration file.
RIPv2 Settings
To configure RIP on an IP interface:
Click IP Configuration > RIPv2 > RIPv2 Settings.
RIP parameters are displayed per IP interface. To add a new IP interface, click Add and enter
the following fields:
• IP Address—Select an IP interface defined on the Layer 2 interface.
• Shutdown—Keep RIP configuration on the interface, but set the interface to inactive.
• Passive—Specifies whether sending RIP route update messages is allowed on the
specified IP interface. If this field is not enabled, RIP updates are not sent (passive).
• Offset—Specifies the metric number of the specified IP interface. This reflects the
additional cost of using this interface, based on the speed of the interface.
• Default Route Advertisement—This option is defined globally in the
Properties page. You can use the global definition or define this field for the specific
interface. The following options are available:
- Global—Use the global settings defined in the RIPv2 Properties. screen.
- Enable—Advertise the default route on this RIP interface.
- Disable—On this RIP interface, do not advertise the default route.
• Default Route Advertisement Metric—Enter the metric for the default route for this
interface.
