Assigning a Prex List to RIP Routes
Another method of controlling RIP (or any routing protocol) routing information is to lter the information through a prex list. A prex list is
applied to incoming or outgoing routes.
Those routes must meet the conditions of the prex list; if not, Dell Networking OS drops the route. Prex lists are globally applied on all
interfaces running RIP. Congure the prex list in PREFIX LIST mode prior to assigning it to the RIP process.
For conguration information about prex lists, refer to Access Control Lists (ACLs).
To apply prex lists to incoming or outgoing RIP routes, use the following commands.
• Assign a congured prex list to all incoming RIP routes.
ROUTER RIP mode
distribute-list prefix-list-name in
• Assign a congured prex list to all outgoing RIP routes.
ROUTER RIP mode
distribute-list prefix-list-name out
To view the current RIP conguration, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode or the show config command in
ROUTER RIP mode.
Adding RIP Routes from Other Instances
In addition to ltering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the RIP process.
With the redistribute command, you can include open shortest path rst (OSPF), static, or directly connected routes in the RIP
process.
To add routes from other routing instances or protocols, use the following commands.
• Include directly connected or user-congured (static) routes in RIP.
ROUTER RIP mode
redistribute {connected | static} [metric metric-value] [route-map map-name]
• metric-value: the range is from 0 to 16.
• map-name: the name of a congured route map.
• Include specic OSPF routes in RIP.
ROUTER RIP mode
redistribute ospf process-id [match external {1 | 2} | match internal] [metric value] [route-
map map-name]
Congure the following parameters:
• process-id: the range is from 1 to 65535.
• metric: the range is from 0 to 16.
• map-name: the name of a congured route map.
To view the current RIP conguration, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode or the show config command in
ROUTER RIP mode.
