RIP parameter configuration
RIP parameter configuration
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 procedure.
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 router rip command.
Brocade(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.
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 0/1/1
Brocade(config-if-0/1/1)#ip rip v1-only
Syntax: [no] ip rip v1-only | v1-compatible-v2 | v2-only
NOTE
You must specify the RIP version.
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.
