Enabling Learning Of Default Routes; Changing The Route Loop Prevention Method; Other Layer 3 Protocols; Enabling Or Disabling Routing Protocols - Dell PowerConnect B-FCXs Configuration Manual

To enable RIP redistribution, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#redistribution
Syntax: [no] redistribution

Enabling learning of default routes

By default, the software does not learn RIP default routes.
To enable learning of default RIP routes, enter commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#interface ethernet 0/1/1
PowerConnect(config-if-e1000-1)#ip rip learn-default
Syntax: [no] ip rip learn-default

Changing the route loop prevention method

RIP can use the following methods to prevent routing loops:
•
•
NOTE
These methods are in addition to RIP maximum valid route cost of 15.
To enable split horizon, enter commands such as the following .
PowerConnect(config)#interface ethernet 0/1/1
PowerConnect(config-if-e1000-1)#no ip rip poison-reverse
Syntax: [no] ip rip poison-reverse

Split horizon – The Dell PowerConnect device does not advertise a route on the same interface
as the one on which it learned the route.
Poison reverse – The Dell PowerConnect device assigns a cost of 16 ("infinite" or
"unreachable") to a route before advertising it on the same interface as the one on which it
learned the route. This is the default.
