3.5 RIP Network Adjustment and Optimization
In some special network environments, some RIP features need to be configured and
RIP network performance needs to be adjusted and optimized. By performing the
configuration mentioned in this section, the following can be implemented:
z
Changing the convergence speed of RIP network by adjusting RIP timers,
z
Avoiding routing loop by configuring split horizon,
z
Traffic sharing based on multiple equivalent routes,
z
Packet validation in network environments with high security requirements, and
z
Configuring RIP feature on an interface or link with special requirements.
3.5.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before adjusting RIP, perform the following tasks:
