Specify whether the SSR broadcasts RIP packets regardless of the number of interfaces
present by doing one of the following:
–
Select On to configure the SSR to always send RIP broadcasts regardless of the
number of interfaces present.
–
Select Off to configure the SSR to never send RIP broadcasts on attached interfaces.
–
Select Choose to configure the SSR to send RIP broadcasts only if more than one
interface is configured on the SSR. This is the default state.

Click OK.
Defining IP RIP Interfaces
By default, RIP is disabled on all SSR IP interfaces. To enable RIP on an IP interface, you
define an IP RIP interface to set the following parameters on that interface:
–
Whether the interface will accept RIP updates
–
Whether the interface will send RIP updates
–
The RIP version (1 or 2)
–
The packet type used for RIP updates (broadcast or multicast)
–
The metric added to incoming RIP updates
–
The metric added to outgoing RIP updates
To enable RIP on an IP interface or to modify the settings of an existing IP RIP interface:
1.
Start Configuration Expert if you have not already done so.
2.
Open the configuration file you want to modify and then double-click that file's
Routing Configuration object.
3.
Double-click the IP Routing Configuration object.
4.
Double-click the IP Unicast Routing object and then double-click the RIP Routing
object. Double-click the RIP Enabled Interfaces object.

Do one of the following:
CoreWatch User's Manual
The metric 16 (the default) is equivalent in RIP to "infinite" and makes a route
unreachable. You must set the default metric to a value other than 16 in order
to allow the SSR to export routes from other protocols such as OSPF into RIP.
You can specify values for the default route preference and default metric in
the RIP Global Parameters dialog box just as in the RIP Policy Defaults
dialog box. If you change a parameter in one dialog box, that change is
automatically applied to the other dialog box. See
Defaults" on page 298
