Chapter 9: Configuring Unicast Routing on the SSR
7. Set the RIP parameters described in the following table:
Table 13. RIP parameters
Parameter Description
RIP Packet Receipt Specify whether the interface can receive RIP updates.
Select Enabled if you want to receive RIP updates on the
interface. Otherwise, select Disabled .
This option does affect RIP updates sent from trusted
gateways. If this option is disabled, the SSR will not
receive any RIP updates including those sent from trusted
gateways. If this option is enabled and trusted gateways
have been set up, the SSR can accept updates only from
those trusted gateways.
RIP Packet Transmission Specify whether the interface can send RIP updates. Select
Enabled if you want to send RIP updates from the
interface. Otherwise, select Disabled .
The setting of this option does not affect the sending of
updates to source gateways.
RIP Protocol Version Select which version of RIP is used on the interface.
Interface Type Specify whether the interface sends RIP updates as
multicast or broadcast messages by selecting the
appropriate option. The default is multicast.
You can set the interface type only if you select Version 2
for the RIP Protocol Version option.
Selecting broadcast specifies that RIP v1-compatible
RIP v2 packets must be broadcast on the specified
interface.
Incoming Route Metric Enter a number from 1 to 16 to specify a metric the
interface adds to incoming RIP routes before adding them
to the route table.
The default is the kernel interface metric plus 1 (the
default RIP hop count). If this value is specified, it will be
used as the absolute value and the kernel metric will not
be used.
Use this option to make the SSR prefer RIP routes learned
from this interface less than RIP routes from other
interfaces.
