Configuring route learning and advertising parameters
By default, a Layer 3 Switch learns routes from all its RIP neighbors and advertises RIP routes to
those neighbors.
You can configure the following learning and advertising parameters:
• Update interval – The update interval specifies how often the Layer 3 Switch sends RIP route
advertisements to its neighbors. The default is 30 seconds. You can change the interval to a
value from 1 – 1000 seconds.
• Learning and advertising of RIP default routes – The Layer 3 Switch learns and advertises RIP
default routes by default. You can disable learning and advertising of default routes on a
global or individual interface basis.
• Learning of standard RIP routes – By default, the Layer 3 Switch can learn RIP routes from all
its RIP neighbors. You can configure RIP neighbor filters to explicitly permit or deny learning
from specific neighbors.
Changing the update interval for route advertisements
The update interval specifies how often the Layer 3 Switch sends route advertisements to its RIP
neighbors. You can specify an interval from 1 – 1000 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
To change the RIP update interval, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)# update 120
This command configures the Layer 3 Switch to send RIP updates every 120 seconds.
Syntax: update-time <1-1000>
Enabling learning of RIP default routes
By default, the Layer 3 Switch does not learn RIP default routes. You can enable learning of RIP
default routes on a global or interface basis.
To enable learning of default RIP routes on a global basis, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)# learn-default
Syntax: [no] learn-default
To enable learning of default RIP routes on an interface basis, enter commands such as the
following.
PowerConnect(config)# interface ethernet 1
PowerConnect(config-if-1)# ip rip learn-default
Syntax: [no] ip rip learn-default
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)# no deny redistribute 2 all address
207.92.0.0 255.255.0.0
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)# no redistribution
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)# redistribution
