Configuring RIP Timers
You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting RIP timers.
Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter RIP view
Configure values for
RIP timers
Based on network performance, you need to make RIP timers of RIP routers identical to each other to
avoid unnecessary traffic or route oscillation.
Configuring Split Horizon and Poison Reverse
If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.
The split horizon and poison reverse functions can avoid routing loops.
Enabling split horizon
The split horizon function disables an interface from sending routes received from the interface to
prevent routing loops between adjacent routers.
Follow these steps to enable split horizon:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Enable split horizon
Use the command...
system-view
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
timers { garbage-collect
garbage-collect-value | suppress
suppress-value | timeout
timeout-value | update
update-value } *
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
rip split-horizon
1-12
