Configuring RIP parameters
24
Syntax: redistribute connected | bgp | ospf | static [metric <value> | route-map <name> ]
The connected parameter applies redistribution to connected types.
The bgp parameter applies redistribution to BGP4 routes.
The ospf parameter applies redistribution to OSPF routes.
The static parameter applies redistribution to IP static routes.
The metric <value> parameter sets the RIP metric value 1- 15 that will be applied to the routes
imported into RIP.
The route-map <name> parameter indicates the route map’s name.
Changing the default redistribution metric
When the device redistributes a route into RIP, the software assigns a RIP metric (cost) to the route.
By default, the software assigns a metric of one to each route that is redistributed into RIP. You can
increase the metric that the device assigns, up to 15.
To change the RIP metric the device assigns to redistributed routes, enter a command such as the
following.
BigIron RX(config-rip-router)# default-metric 10
This command assigns a RIP metric of 10 to each route that is redistributed into RIP.
Syntax: [no] default-metric <1-15>
Configuring route learning and advertising parameters
By default, a device learns routes from all its RIP neighbors and advertises RIP routes to those
neighbors.
You can configure the following learning and advertising parameters:
•
Learning and advertising of RIP default routes – The device learns and advertises RIP default
routes by default. You can disable learning and advertising of default routes on a global or
individual interface basis.
•
Learning of standard RIP routes – By default, the device can learn RIP routes from all its RIP
neighbors. You can configure RIP neighbor filters to explicitly permit or deny learning from
specific neighbors.
Enabling learning of RIP default routes
By default, the device does not learn default RIP routes. You can enable learning of RIP default
routes on a global or interface basis.
To enable learning of default RIP routes on a global basis, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-rip-router)# learn-default
Syntax: [no] learn-default
To enable learning of default RIP routes on an interface, enter commands such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-1/1)# ip rip learn-default
