Configuring RIP parameters
Use the following procedures to configure RIP parameters on a system-wide and individual
interface basis.
Enabling RIP
RIP is disabled by default. To enable it, use the following method.
NOTE
You must enable the protocol globally and also on individual interfaces on which you want to
advertise RIP. Globally enabling the protocol does not enable it on individual interfaces.
To enable RIP globally, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config)# router rip
Syntax: [no] router rip
After globally enabling the protocol, you must enable it on individual interfaces. You can enable the
protocol on physical interfaces as well as virtual routing interfaces. To enable RIP on an interface,
enter commands such as the following.
TABLE 112 RIP interface parameters
Parameter Description Default See page...
RIP state and
version
The state of the protocol and the version that is
supported on the interface. The version can be one
of the following:
• Version 1 only
• Version 2 only
• Version 1, but also compatible with version 2
NOTE: You also must enable RIP globally.

Metric A numeric cost the router adds to RIP routes learned
on the interface. This parameter applies only to RIP
routes.

Learning default
routes
Locally overrides the global setting. Refer to
Table 111 on page 644.
Disabled page 650
Loop prevention The method a router uses to prevent routing loops
caused by advertising a route on the same interface
as the one on which the router learned the route.
• Split horizon – The router does not advertise a
route on the same interface as the one on
which the router learned the route.
• Poison reverse – The router assigns a cost of
16 (“infinite” or “unreachable”) to a route
before advertising it on the same interface as
the one on which the router learned the route.
Poison reverse
NOTE: Enabling split
horizon disables
poison reverse on
the interface.

Advertising and
learning specific
routes
You can control the routes that a Layer 3 Switch
learns or advertises.
The Layer 3 Switch learns
and advertises all RIP
routes on all interfaces.
