RIP parameters
The web pages and command line commands described in this section control the configuration
of the routing Information Protocol (RIP) functionality of the router.
Global RIP Settings
Enable RIP
When enabled, enables the RIP functionality.
Send RIP advertisements every s seconds
The interval between sending RIP packets. These packets contain the current routes held by
the router (such as any active PPP routes), static routes and the default route. A value of 0
disables sending.
Mark routes as unusable if we don’t get advertisements for s seconds
The time for which an updated metric will apply when a RIP update is received. If no updates
are received within this period, the usual metric will take over.
Delete routes after another s seconds
The length of time that the router will continue to advertise this route when a RIP update
timeout occurs and the route metric is
16
. This behavior is designed to help propagate the
dead route to other routers. The router will no longer use a metric advertised by a RIP update
if the route has been set out of service locally.
Allow RIP to update static routes
When enabled, allows an incoming, matching RIP update to change the metric of the static
route. This happens when the update matches a configured static route.
Enable Poison Reverse
When enabled, enables poison reverse, to notify when a neighboring router is unavailable.
