3.5 RIP Network Adjustment and Optimization

In some special network environments, some RIP features need to be configured and
RIP network performance needs to be adjusted and optimized. By performing the
configuration mentioned in this section, the following can be implemented:
Changing the convergence speed of RIP network by adjusting RIP timers,
Avoiding routing loop by configuring split horizon,
Traffic sharing based on multiple equivalent routes,
Packet validation in network environments with high security requirements, and
Configuring RIP feature on an interface or link with special requirements.
3.5.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before adjusting RIP, perform the following tasks:
Configuring the network layer addresses of interfaces so that adjacent nodes are
reachable to each other at the network layer
Configuring basic RIP functions

3.5.2 Configuration Tasks

I. Configuring RIP timers
Table 3-12 Configure RIP timers
Enter system view
Enter RIP view
Set the values of RIP
timers
Note:
When configuring the values of RIP timers, you should take network performance into
consideration and perform consistent configuration on all routers running RIP to avoid
unnecessary network traffic and network route oscillation.
