Parameters
ip-address: Specifies the IP address of a RIP neighbor, in dotted decimal notation.
Usage guidelines
Do not use the peer ip-address command when the neighbor is directly connected. Otherwise the
neighbor might receive the same routing information in both unicast and multicast (or broadcast) mode.
Examples
# Specify RIP to unicast updates to peer 202.38.165.1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] rip 1
[Sysname-rip-1] peer 202.38.165.1
preference
Use preference to specify a preference for RIP routes.
Use undo preference to restore the default.
Syntax
preference [ route-policy route-policy-name ] value
undo preference [ route-policy ]
Default
The preference of RIP routes is 100.

Parameters
route-policy-name: Specifies a routing policy by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 63 characters.
value: Specifies a preference for RIP routes, in the range of 1 to 255. The smaller the value, the higher the
preference.
Usage guidelines
You can specify a routing policy by using the keyword route-policy to set a preference for matching RIP
routes.
• The preference set by the routing policy applies to all matching RIP routes. The preference of other
routes is set by the preference command.
• If no preference is set by the routing policy, the preference of all RIP routes is set by the preference
command.
Examples
# Set a preference of 120 for RIP routes.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] rip 1
[Sysname-rip-1] preference 120
