RIP tab

Use the RIP tab to configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on the interface.

To open the RIP tab, do one of the following:
­ From the main menu, choose Edit > Port > RIP.
The Port dialog box opens, and the RIP tab is displayed.
­ From the main menu, choose VLAN > VLANs > Basic > IP > RIP.
The VLAN IP dialog box opens, and the RIP tab is displayed.


Field Description
Enable
Sets enabling RIP on the VLAN (or port) to true or false. The default is false.
Talk
Enables or disables RIP route advertisements through the interface. The default is enable.
Listen
Enables or disables the learning of RIP advertised routes through this interface. The default is enable.
Poison
If disabled, split horizon is invoked, meaning that IP routes learned from an immediate neighbor are not advertised back to the neighbor from which the routes were learned.
If enabled, the RIP update sent to a neighbor from which a route is learned is "poisoned" with a metric of 16. In this manner, the route entry is not passed along to the neighbor, because historically 16 is "infinity" in terms of hops on a network. The default is disable.
AdvertiseDefaultRoute
Set the value to true if the default route must be advertised out this interface. Default route will be advertised only if it exists in the routing table. The default is false.
AcceptDefaultRoute
Set the value to true if the default route should be learned on this interface when advertised by another router connected to the interface. The default is false.
TriggeredUpdateEnable
Sets whether to disable or enable automatic triggered updates for RIP. The default is false.
AutoAggregateEnable
Enables automatic route aggregation. Only available when using RIPv2. The default is false.
AdvertiseWhenDown
Indicates whether or not a VLAN state change should be advertised to layer 3, provided the VLAN is configured as a routable interface. Also used for single routable ports, in which case the criteria for state is PortOperStatus. A VLAN is considered as UP if at least one member of the port-based VLAN has link up, at least one port member of the policy-based VLAN is active, or at least one static member of the policy-based VLAN has link up. Otherwise, the VLAN is considered down.
If true, the network on this interface will be advertised as up, even if the port is down. The interface state change will not be advertised to layer 3 (it always stays up). If the value is "false," then the VLAN state change will be advertised to layer 3 so that IP-related status reflects the routable interface state.
Note: When you configure a port without any link and enable AdvertiseWhenDown, it will not advertise the route until the port is active. Then the route will be advertised even when the link is down. To disable advertising based on link states, disable AdvertiseWhenDown.
The default is false.
