* Refers to all of the interfaces on the AS/400 system and is useful for setting
default values that apply to all interfaces. You can override these defaults by
providing a RIP_INTERFACE statement for a specific interface with different
values for selected parameters.
Supply Values
The following is a list of possible values for a RIP_INTERFACE supply value:
PASSIVE
The system does not receive or generate any RIP traffic on the specified
interface.
SUPPLY RIP1
Indicates which version of the RIP protocol the system uses to send and
receive routing information to and from neighboring routers. For SUPPLY RIP1,
the system processes only RIPv1 packets.
SUPPLY RIP2
Indicates which version of the RIP protocol the system uses to send and
receive routing information to and from neighboring routers. For SUPPLY RIP2,
the system uses the multicast address 224.0.0.9 to process only RIPv2
packets, as specified in the RFC1723 sect.3.5.
SUPPLY OFF
Indicates that the system receives both RIPv1 and RIPv2 on the specified
interface. However, the system does not send RIP packets.
Note: The default supply value for interfaces that you do not specify is SUPPLY
RIP1. The system does not support RIP Version 1 Compatibility mode.
DIST_ROUTES_IN
DIST_ROUTES_IN controls how RouteD redistributes routes that it receives from
this RIP_INTERFACE network to Wide Area Networks, or WANs. This parameter
does
not
affect redistribution of routes to Local Area Networks, or LANs. The
following is a list of values and their definitions:
*CALC
RouteD determines a value of FULL or LIMITED by whether the RIP_INTERFACE
network is a LAN or a WAN. If the specified interface is broadcast-capable, it is
assumed local, and a value of FULL is given. Otherwise, the system uses a
value of LIMITED.
FULL
Indicates that RouteD redistributes routes that it receives from the specified
interface to all of the other interfaces using normal RIP algorithm. Specify this
value only for local networks.
LIMITED
Indicates that the server is not to redistribute routes that it receives from the
RIP_INTERFACE network to other LIMITED interfaces. Specify this value only
for some type of WAN. You cannot set this value for a LAN.
Metric
This parameter specifies the metric that the system adds to routes that it receives
through the specified interface. Possible values are 1 through 15.
