Configuring RIP route redistribution
Perform this task to configure RIP to redistribute routes from other routing protocols, including OSPF, IS-IS,
BGP, static, and direct.

By default, RIP route redistribution
is disabled.
This command can redistribute
only active routes. To view active
routes, use the
display ip
routing-table
protocol
command.

(Optional.) Configure a
default cost for redistributed
routes.

value
The default setting is 0.
Tuning and optimizing RIP networks
Configuration prerequisites
Before you tune and optimize RIP networks, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.
•
Configure basic RIP.
Configuring RIP timers
You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting the following RIP timers:
•
Update timer
—Specifies the interval between route updates.
•
Timeout timer
—Specifies the route aging time. If no update for a route is received within the aging
time, the metric of the route is set to 16.
