n
The rip metricout command takes effect only on the RIP routes learnt by the
router and the RIP routes generated by the router itself, but not on any route
imported to RIP from other routing protocols.
Configuring RIP route summary
Route summary means that different subnet routes in the same natural network
segment can be aggregated into one route with a natural mask for transmission to
another network segment. This function is used to reduce the routing traffic on
the network as well as to reduce the size of the routing table.
Route summary does not work for RIP-1. RIP-2 supports route summary. When it is
needed to advertise all subnet routes, you can disable the function for RIP-2.
Disabling the receiving of host routes
In some special cases, the router can receive a lot of host routes from the same
segment, and these routes are of little help in route addressing but consume a lot
of network resources. After host route receiving is disabled, a router can refuse
any incoming host routes.

metric to be added for
incoming RIP routes on this

routing metric added for
incoming routes on an
interface is 0.
Set the additional routing
metric to be added for
outgoing RIP routes on this
interface
rip metricout value Optional
By default, the additional
routing metric added for
outgoing routes on an
interface is 1.
