Optional
By default, the RIP
version on an interface
is RIP-1, and the
interface can receive
RIP-1 and RIP-2
broadcast packets but
send only RIP-1
packets. When
specifying the RIP
version on an interface
to RIP-2, you can also
specify the mode
(broadcast or multicast)
to send RIP packets.
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 summary and disabling the
receiving of host routes.
z
Filter the received 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
Import external routes in an environment with multiple routing protocols and filter
the advertised routes.
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
