RIP parameters and defaults
RIP interface parameters
Table 206 lists the interface-level RIP parameters and their default values, and indicates where you
can find configuration information.
.
Redistribution
metric
RIP assigns a RIP metric (cost) to each external route
redistributed from another routing protocol into RIP. An external
route is a route with at least one hop (packets must travel
through at least one other router to reach the destination).
This parameter applies to routes that are redistributed from
other protocols into RIP.

Update interval How often the router sends route updates to its RIP neighbors. 30 seconds page 1207
Learning
default routes
The router can learn default routes from its RIP neighbors.
NOTE: You also can enable or disable this parameter on an
individual interface basis. Refer to Table 206 on
page 1201.

Advertising
and learning
with specific
neighbors
The Layer 3 Switch learns and advertises RIP routes with all its
neighbors by default. You can prevent the Layer 3 Switch from
advertising routes to specific neighbors or learning routes from
specific neighbors.

advertising

• Version 2 only
• Version 1, but also compatible with version 2
