The RIP Interface Table Edit window display the following fields:
Default Route Metric – Metric for the default route entry in RIP updates
originated on this interface. Zero indicates that no default route is originated.
Auto Send – When this parameter is enabled, this device advertises RIP messages
in the default metric only. This allows some stations to learn the default router
address. If the device detects another RIP message, Auto Send is disabled. Enable
this parameter to minimize network traffic when the device is the only router on
the network.
Virtual Distance – Virtual number of hops assigned to the interface. This fine-
tunes the RIP routing algorithm.
4. Edit the required fields. The IP Address field cannot be modified.
5. Click .
6. Close the RIP Interface Table Edit window. The RIP Interface Table opens.
7. Click . When the Status field displays "Finished!", the fields are confirmed as
modified.
RIP Filters
IP RIP filtering is a device feature that improves aggregate routing performance. Defining IP RIP
filters reduces the RIP table size to the relevant IP subnets, allowing for a faster table lookup and
relearning memory for other purposes. RIP filters are supported from software version 3.03 and
up.
To display the RIP filters:
