ICMP host unreachable message for undeliverable ARPs
If the router receives an ARP request packet that it is unable to deliver to the final destination
because of the ARP timeout and no ARP response is received (the router knows of no route to the
destination address), the router sends an ICMP Host Unreachable message to the source.
RIP parameters and defaults
The following tables list the RIP parameters, their default values, and where to find configuration
information.
RIP global parameters
Table 171 lists the global RIP parameters and their default values, and indicates where you can
find configuration information.
TABLE 171 RIP global parameters
Parameter Description Default Reference
RIP state The global state of the protocol.
NOTE: You also must enable the protocol on individual
interfaces. Globally enabling the protocol does not
allow interfaces to send and receive RIP information.
Refer to
Table 172 on page 909.

Administrative
distance The administrative distance is a numeric value assigned to
each type of route on the router.
When the router is selecting from among multiple routes
(sometimes of different origins) to the same destination, the
router compares the administrative distances of the routes and
selects the route with the lowest administrative distance.
This parameter applies to routes originated by RIP. The
administrative distance stays with a route when it is
redistributed into other routing protocols. 120 page 911
Redistribution RIP can redistribute routes from other routing protocols such as
OSPF and BGP4 into RIP. A redistributed route is one that a
router learns through another protocol, then distributes into RIP. Disabled page 912
Redistribution
metric RIP assigns a RIP metric (cost) to each external route
redistributed from another routing protocol into RIP. An external
route is a route with at least one hop (packets must travel
through at least one other router to reach the destination).
This parameter applies to routes that are redistributed from
other protocols into RIP. 1 (one) page 913
Update interval How often the router sends route updates to its RIP neighbors. 30 seconds page 914
