Causes RIP to use the predefined default metric value for the propagated route
configuration.
•
Transparent (default)
Causes RIP to use the routing table metric as the RIP metric for the propagated route
configuration.
This results in the following behavior:
-
If the metric value of a route is equal to or less than 15, this value is used in the RIP
protocol when advertising this route.
-
If the metric value of a static route is greater than 15, the route is not advertised to
other routers using RIP.
•
User Defined Metric
Causes RIP to use the metric value entered by the user.
Using RIP in Network with Non-Rip Devices
Static route configuration and connected interfaces must be taken into account when using
RIP. This is shown in the following, which illustrates a network where some routers support
RIP and others do not.
