Chapter 31 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring RIP
To turn off the RIP routing process, use the no router rip global configuration command.
To display the parameters and current state of the active routing protocol process, use the show ip
protocols privileged EXEC command. Use the show ip rip database privileged EXEC command to
display summary address entries in the RIP database.
Step 7
timers basic update invalid holddown
flush
(Optional) Adjust routing protocol timers. Valid ranges for all timers are 0
to 4294967295 seconds.
•
update—Time between sending routing updates. The default is 30
seconds.
•
invalid—Time after which a route is declared invalid. The default is 180
seconds.
•
holddown—Time before a route is removed from the routing table. The
default is 180 seconds.
•
flush—Amount of time for which routing updates are postponed. The
default is 240 seconds.
Step 8
version {1 | 2}
(Optional) Configure the switch to receive and send only RIP Version 1 or
RIP version 2 packets. By default, the switch receives Version 1 and 2 but
sends only Version 1.
You can also use the interface commands ip rip {send | receive} version 1
| 2 | 1 2} to control what versions are used for sending and receiving on
interfaces.
Step 9
no auto summary
(Optional) Disable automatic summarization. By default, the switch
summarizes subprefixes when crossing classful network boundaries.
Disable summarization (RIP version 2 only) to advertise subnet and host
routing information to classful network boundaries.
Step 10
no validate-update-source
(Optional) Disable validation of the source IP address of incoming RIP
routing updates. By default, the switch validates the source IP address of
incoming RIP routing updates and discards the update if the source address
is not valid. Under normal circumstances, disabling this feature is not
recommended. However, if you have a router that is off-network and you
want to receive its updates, you can use this command.
Step 11
output-delay delay
(Optional) Add interpacket delay for RIP updates sent.
By default, packets in a multiple-packet RIP update have no delay added
between packets. If you are sending packets to a lower-speed device, you
can add an interpacket delay in the range of 8 to 50 milliseconds.
Step 12

Return to privileged EXEC mode.
