122 CHAPTER 5: USING ROUTING PROTOCOL COMMANDS
Description
Using the peer command, you can configure the destination address of the peer
device.
Using the undo peer command, you can cancel the set destination address. By
default, there is no destination address.
3Com recommends that you do not use this command. RIP can use unicast to
exchange information with non-broadcasting networks. If required, you can use
this command to specify the destination address of the peer device.
Example
To specify the sending destination address as 202.38.165.1., enter the following:
[SW7700-rip]peer 202.38.165.1

100.
Description
Using the preference command, you can configure the route preference of RIP.
Using the undo preference command, you can restore the default preference.
The default value of each routing protocol is determined by the specific routing
policy. This “preference” determines the optimal route in the IP routing table. You
can use this command to modify the RIP preference.
Example
To specify the RIP preference to 20, enter the following:
[SW7700-rip]preference 20
