Basic Remote Networking
IP Routing
4-10
Remote nodes do not have to make routing decisions, as they can only send network packets to the SCS.
Therefore, most remote nodes do not need to receive RIP packets. Sites that only support remote nodes may
turn off RIP to reduce traffic on the connection.

Disabling RIP Packets
Note:
For more information about disabling RIP, see Define Site IP on page 12-140.
4.4.4 Configuring RIP for Sites
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) packets enable the SCS to broadcast its known routes and receive
routing information from other routers. Each site may configure RIP in a number of ways.
4.4.4.1 Disabling RIP
By default, SCS sites will both listen for and send RIP packets. However, in some situations, RIP should be
disabled. For example, if the routers on both sides of a link have been pre-configured with all necessary
routing information (with static routes)
Figure 4-14:
Disabling RIP
If you want the SCS to either listen for or send RIP packets, but not both, you can selectively disable one or
the other. The following example turns off listening for RIP packets.
Figure 4-15:
Disabling RIP Listen
4.4.4.2 Interval Between RIP Updates
When RIP sending is enabled, the SCS sends RIP updates every thirty seconds. This number can be
adjusted; for example, the update interval may be raised so that RIP updates are sent every minute to reduce
network traffic.
To configure the update interval, use the
Define Site IP RIP Update
command. The interval must be
specified in seconds; intervals between 10 and 255 seconds are permitted.

Adjusting RIP Update Intervals
4.4.4.3 Configuring the Metric
Each RIP packet lists known routes and the “cost” associated with each of these routes. Each SCS site may
configure the cost of its interface; all routes learned through the site will be associated with that cost.
When a router determines a route to a particular destination, a route with a lower cost is more likely to be
included in the route. Configuring a higher RIP cost on a particular site makes the interface a less desirable
route to other destinations.
