In the Passport 1000 Series switches, the router has RIP global parameters that are used by all router interfaces using RIP. Both isolated routing ports and VLAN virtual routing interfaces use the same RIP global parameters.
Use the RIP Globals tab to configure RIP global parameters and to access other RIP management tabs.
To open the RIP tab:
| The RIP dialog box opens with the Globals tab displayed |
The RIP Globals tab contains the two most important globals:
|
| Note: You can configure RIP on the interfaces with RIP globally disabled, thus having the flexibility to configure all interfaces before turning on RIP for the routing switch. |
The table below describes the items in the RIP Globals tab.
Operation
Enables or disables the operation of RIP on all interfaces. The default is disable.
Update Time
The time interval between RIP updates. It is a global parameter for the box; that is, it applies to all interfaces and cannot be set individually for each interface. The default is 30 seconds.
RouteChanges
The number of route changes made to the IP Route Database by RIP; does not include the refresh of a route's age.
Queries
The number of responses sent to RIP queries from other systems.
HoldDownTime
Sets the length of time that RIP will continue to advertise a network after determining it is unreachable. The range is 0 to 360 seconds. The default is 120 seconds.
