RIP Routing
Configuring the RIP Interface Receive Option
The RIP receive option defines the type(s) of RIP packets that the interface will accept. Using this
command will override RIP default behavior. Other devices must be able to interpret the information
provided by this command or routing information will not be properly exchanged between the switch and
other devices on the network.
Use the
ip rip interface recv-version
Enter the IP address of the RIP interface, then enter a receive option. For example, to configure RIP inter-
face 172.22.2.115 to receive only RIPv1 packets you would enter:
-> ip rip interface 172.22.2.115 recv-version v1
The receive options are:
v1. Only RIPv1 packets will be received by the switch.
•
v2. Only RIPv2 packets will be received by the switch.
•
both. Both RIPv1 and RIPv2 packets will be received by the switch.
•
none. Interface ignores any RIP packets received.
•
The default RIP receive option is both.
Configuring the RIP Interface Metric
You can set priorities for routes generated by a switch by assigning a metric value to routes generated by
that switch's RIP interface. For example, routes generated by a neighboring switch may have a hop count
of 1. However, you can lower the priority of routes generated by that switch by increasing the metric value
for routes generated by the RIP interface.
Note. When you configure a metric for a RIP interface, this metric cost is added to the metric of the
incoming route.
Use the
ip rip interface metric
interface. Enter the IP address of the RIP interface as well as a metric value. For example, to set a metric
value of 2 for RIP interface 171.15.0.1 you would enter:
-> ip rip interface 171.15.0.1 metric 2
The valid metric range is 1 to 15. The default is 1.
Use the show ip rip interface command to display the current interface metric.
Configuring the RIP Interface Route Tag
Use the
ip rip route-tag
face. This value is used to set priorities for RIP routing. Enter the command and the route tag value. For
example, to set a route tag value of 1 you would enter:
-> ip rip route-tag 1
The valid route tag value range is 1 to 2147483647. The default is 0.
Use the show ip rip command to display the current route tag value.
