Enabling RIP globally
In the Passport 8600 Switch, the RIP global parameters are used by all router interfaces using RIP. Both brouter ports and VLAN virtual routing interfaces use the same RIP global parameters.
To enable RIP globally:
- From the Device Manager main menu, choose IP Routing > RIP.
| The RIP dialog box opens with the Globals tab displayed. |
The table below describes the Globals tab items.
|
Operation
|
Enables or disables the operation of RIP on all interfaces. The default is disabled.
|
UpdateTime
|
The time interval between RIP updates on all interfaces. 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.
|
- In the Operation check box, select enable box or click to clear the RIP Globals option.
|
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 switch.
