Configuring a Priority for RIP
Multiple IGP protocols may run in a router. If you want RIP routes to have a higher priority than those
learned by other routing protocols, you can assign RIP a smaller priority value to influence optimal route
selection.
Follow these steps to configure a priority for RIP:

Configuring RIP Route Redistribution
If a router runs RIP and other routing protocols, you can configure RIP to redistribute static or direct
routes.
Follow these steps to configure RIP route redistribution:
To do…
Use the command…

Configure a default metric for
redistributed routes

Optional
The default metric of a
redistributed route is 0 by
default.

No redistribution is configured
by default.
Only active routes can be redistributed. You can use the
display ip routing-table
protocol
command
to display route state information.
Configuring RIP Network Optimization
Complete the following tasks before configuring RIP network optimization:
z
Configure network addresses for interfaces, and make neighboring nodes reachable to each other;
z
Configure RIP basic functions.
