RIP policy for propagating updates back to the originating subnet
You can specify a split-horizon or poison-reverse policy for outgoing update packets
that include routes received on the same interface on which the update is sent. Split-
horizon means that the router does not propagate routes back to the subnet from
which they were received. Poison-reverse means that it propagates routes back to the
subnet from which they were received, but with a metric of 16 (infinite metric).
The following set of commands specifies the split-horizon policy:
admin> read ip-global
Parameter
Setting
rip-policy
Policy for sending update packets that include routes
received on the same interface.
summarize-rip-routes
Enable/disable summarization of subnet information in
RIP-v1 updates. This setting has no effect on RIP-2
updates.
rip-trigger
Enable/disable RIP triggering. With a
yes
setting (the
default), RIP updates include only changed routes.
rip-pref
Default preference for routes learned from RIP updates.
When choosing the routes to put in the routing table,
the unit first compares their preference values,
preferring the lowest number. If the preference values
are equal, the router compares the metric values, using
the route with the lowest metric. Specify a number
from
0
through
255
. A value of
255
prevents the use of
the route. The default preferences for different types of
routes are
0
(zero) for connected routes,
10
for OSPF
routes,
30
for routes learned from ICMP redirects, and
100
for routes learned from RIP and static routes.
dialout-poison
Enable/disable advertisement of dial-out routes when
no trunks are available. Stinger units do not dial out, so
leave this parameter at its default setting.
ignore-def-route
Enable/disable exclusion of advertised default routes
from the routing table.
rip-queue-depth
Maximum number of RIP packets to be held for
processing. Valid values are 0 to 1024. The default (0)
means that the router will not drop any RIP packets, no
matter how far behind it gets.
suppress-host-routes
Enable/disable suppression of host routes for interfaces
with a subnet mask of less than 32 bits.
