l Configuring IP addresses for interfaces to ensure that neighboring nodes are reachable at
the network layer
l Configuring Basic RIP Functions
Data Preparation
To configure RIP route attributes, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 Additional metric of the interface
2 RIP preference
3 Maximum number of equal-cost routes
2.4.2 Configuring Additional Metrics of an Interface
The additional metric is the metric (hop count) to be added to the original metric of a RIP route.
You can specify commands to set additional metrics for incoming and outgoing RIP routes.
Context
The additional metric is added to the original metric of the RIP route.
l The rip metricin command is used to add an additional metric to an incoming route. After
this route is added to the routing table, its metric in the routing table changes.Running this
command affects route selection on the local device and other devices on the network.
l The rip metricout command is used to add an additional metric to an outgoing route. When
this route is advertised, an additional metric is added to this route, but the metric of the
route in the routing table does not change.Running this command does not affect route
selection on the local device or other devices on the network.
Do as follows on the RIP switch:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
The interface must be a VLANIF interface.
Step 3 Run:
rip metricin value
The metric added to an incoming route is set.
