Configuring Route Learning And Advertising Parameters - Foundry Networks Switch and Router Installation And Configuration Manual

BigIron(config-rip-router)# default-metric 10
This command assigns a RIP metric of 10 to each route that is redistributed into RIP.
Syntax: [no] default-metric <1-15>
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.
3. Click on the plus sign next to RIP in the tree view to expand the list of RIP option links.
4. Click on the General link to display the RIP configuration panel, shown in Figure 16.1 on page 16-10.
5. Enter a value from 1 – 15 in the Redistribution Default Metric field.
6. Click the Apply button to save the change to the device's running-config file.
7. To configure settings for another port, select the port (and slot, if applicable) and go to step 5.
8. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device's flash memory.
Enabling Redistribution
After you configure redistribution parameters, you need to enable redistribution.
USING THE CLI
To enable RIP redistribution, enter the following command:
BigIron(config-rip-router)# redistribution
Syntax: [no] redistribution

1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.
3. Click on the plus sign next to RIP in the tree view to expand the list of RIP option links.
4. Click on the General link to display the RIP configuration panel, shown in Figure 16.1 on page 16-10.
5. Select Disable or Enable next to Redistribution.
6. Click the Apply button to save the change to the device's running-config file.
7. To configure settings for another port, select the port (and slot, if applicable) and go to step 5.

Configuring Route Learning and Advertising Parameters

By default, a Foundry Layer 3 Switch learns routes from all its RIP neighbors and advertises RIP routes to those
neighbors.
You can configure the following learning and advertising parameters:
• Update interval – The update interval specifies how often the Layer 3 Switch sends RIP route advertisements
to its neighbors. The default is 30 seconds. You can change the interval to a value from 1 – 1000 seconds.
• Learning and advertising of RIP default routes – The Layer 3 Switch learns and advertises RIP default routes
by default. You can disable learning and advertising of default routes on a global or individual interface basis.
• Learning of standard RIP routes – By default, the Layer 3 Switch can learn RIP routes from all its RIP
neighbors. You can configure RIP neighbor filters to explicitly permit or deny learning from specific neighbors.
