Command Attributes
Global Settings
• RIP Routing Process – Enables RIP routing for all IP interfaces on the
router. (Default: Disabled)
• Global RIP Version – Specifies a RIP version used globally by the
router. (Default: RIP Version 1)
Timer Settings
• Update – Sets the rate at which updates are sent. This value will also set
the timeout timer to 6 times the update time, and the
garbage-collection timer to 4 times the update time.
(Range: 15-60 seconds; Default: 30 seconds)
• Timeout – Sets the time after which there have been no update
messages that a route is declared dead. The route is marked inaccessible
(i.e., the metric set to infinite) and advertised as unreachable. However,
packets are still forwarded on this route. (Default: 180 seconds)
• Garbage Collection – After the timeout interval expires, the router waits
for an interval specified by the garbage-collection timer before removing this
entry from the routing table. This timer allows neighbors to become
aware of an invalid route prior to purging. (Default: 120 seconds)
Web - Click Routing Protocol, RIP, General Settings. Enable or disable
RIP, set the RIP version used on previously unset interfaces to RIPv1 or
RIPv2, set the basic update timer, and then click Apply.
