Configuring Rip Route Control - Huawei Quidway S3900 Series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – Routing Protocol
Quidway S3900 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510
Set the preference of RIP to change the preference order of routing protocols.
This order makes sense when more than one route to the same destination is
discovered by multiple routing protocols.
Import external routes in an environment with multiple routing protocols and filter
the advertised routes.
3.4.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring RIP route control, perform the following tasks:
Configuring network layer addresses of interfaces so that adjacent nodes are
reachable to each other at the network layer
Configuring basic RIP functions

3.4.2 Configuring RIP Route Control

I. Setting the additional routing metrics of an interface
Additional routing metric is the routing metric (hop count) added to the original metrics
of RIP routes on an interface. It does not change the metric value of a RIP route in the
routing table, but will be added for incoming or outgoing RIP routes on the interface.

Note:
The rip metricout command takes effect only on the RIP routes learnt by the router
and the RIP routes generated by the router itself, but not on any route imported to RIP
from other routing protocols.
