Usage guidelines
The default is 432 bytes.
In RIP update packets, the size of each routing information item is 8 bytes and the size of IPX header plus
RIP header is 32 bytes. So an updating packet can carry up to 50 routing information items at most.
Examples
# Specify the maximum RIP updating packet size as 500 bytes on Ethernet 1/1.

[Sysname] interface ethernet 1/1

Parameters
multiplier: Used to calculate the aging period of RIP routing items, in the range of 1 to 1000. The actual
aging time is the value of multiplier multiplied by the RIP updating interval.
Usage guidelines
A timer is set for each routing entry to keep track of elapsed time since the route was received. Every time
the updating packet containing the route is received, the timer is reset to zero. If a RIP route is not updated
within the aging period, the system will regard the route as invalid and will delete it from the routing
table.
Examples
# Configure the aging interval to be 5 times the update interval.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ipx rip multiplier 5
