RN-CA-CLIRG-05. CLI command
“rip default- route originate”
Note: This CLI command replaces “rip default-route offset” command.
rip default-route originate
The rip default-route originate interface configuration command generates a
metric for a default route into RIP. To disable this feature, use the no form of
this command.
Syntax
rip default-route originate metric
no rip default-route originate
metric — Metric for a default route. (Range: 1- 15)
Default Configuration
By default, the feature is disabled.
Command Mode
IP Interface Configuration mode
User Guidelines
* This command is equivalent to rip default-route offset.
* Note that this is an origination of a default route with the given metric.
* Setting the value of the metric to 0 is the same as negating the command.
* An interface on which this command has been configured does not accept
"default route" advertisement, in order to prevent a possible loop on the default
route.
Example
The following example applies a metric of 5 to generate a default route to RIP
on IP address 100.1.1.1.
console(config)interface ip 100.1.1.1
Console(config-ip)# rip default-route originate 5
RN-CA-CLIRG-06. CLI command
“rip default-route offset”
Note: This CLI command has been deprecated.
* This command is equivalent to rip default-route originate.
* Note that this is an origination of a default route with the given metric.
* Setting the value of the metric to 0 is the same as negating the command.
* An interface on which this command has been configured does not accept
"default route" advertisement, in order to prevent a possible loop on the default
route.
* The range of the parameter offset is 0 - 15, and not as noted in the CLI
Reference Guide.
RN-CA-CLIRG-07. CLI command
“router ospf area”
The area-id is the OSPF area associated with a range of IP addresses. The
area-id is specified in a “dotted decimal” notation similar to an IP address.
If no area is specified, the default area is 0.0.0.0.
An OSPF routed network must contain an area 0. Only one sub-level of area
hierarchy is allowed, that is all areas other than 0 must connect to area 0 via
an ABR (area border router). An ABR is a router that is connected to two or
more OSPF areas.
Small networks usually will only have an area 0. Larger networks will have
multiple OSPF areas to reduce the size of the IP route tables and to reduce the
CPU and memory demands on the routers to a manageable level.
It is not necessary to define an OSPF area globally. OSPF areas may also be
defined with the interface command.
