Follow these steps to specify the RIP version on an interface:
To do...
Use the command...

Optional
By default, the version of the
RIP running on an interface is
RIP-1.
3.4 RIP Route Control
In actual implementation, it may be needed to control RIP routing information more
accurately to accommodate complex network environments. By performing the
configuration described in the following sections, you can:
z
Control route selection by adjusting additional routing metrics on interfaces
running RIP.
z
Reduce the size of the routing table by setting route summarization and disabling
the receiving of host routes.
z
Filter incoming and outgoing routes.
z
Set the preference of RIP to change the preference order of routing protocols.
This order makes sense when more than one route to the same destination is
discovered by multiple routing protocols.
z
Redistribute external routes in an environment with multiple routing protocols.
3.4.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring RIP route control, perform the following tasks:
z
Configuring network layer addresses of interfaces so that adjacent nodes are
reachable to each other at the network layer
z
Configuring basic RIP functions
3.4.2 Configuring RIP Route Control
I. Setting the additional routing metrics of an interface
Additional metric is the metric added to the original metrics of RIP routes on an
interface. It does not directly change the metric value of a RIP route in the routing
table of a router, but will be added to incoming or outgoing RIP routes on the interface.
Follow these steps to set additional routing metric:
