RIP Policy Parameters
These parameters define SAP policies:
■
Policy type — Import (apply the policy to received services) or Export
(apply the policy to advertised services).
■
Route origin — The origin of the route for this policy if it is an export
policy: static, RIP, or all.
■
Route — An IPX network address that specifies the route that applies
to this policy.
■
Interface — One or more IP interfaces on this router that are
associated with the RIP policy.
■
Source Node Address — The MAC address of the router that can
forward packets to the network.
■
Action — Whether this router accepts or rejects a route that matches
the policy.
■
Metric — Increase or decrease a route metric by a value that you
specify. This parameter is valid only if the Policy Action is set to Accept
(import policies).
To change the route metric of an export policy, you must adjust the metric
of the import policy on the receiving router.
■
Weight — The metric value of this policy. This parameter specifies the
order of precedence for policies that match the same route. A higher
value takes precedence over a lower value.
