RIP tab of the Port and IP, VLAN dialog boxes.


Item Description
Enable
Sets RIP on the VLAN (or port) to enable or disable. The default is disable.
Supply
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 disable.
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 enable if the default route must be advertised out this interface. A default route is advertised only if it exists in the routing table. The default is disable.
AcceptDefaultRoute
Set the value to enable if the default route should be learned on this interface when advertised by another router connected to the interface. The default is disable.
TriggeredUpdateEnable
Sets whether to disable or enable automatic triggered updates for RIP. The default is disable.
AutoAggregateEnable
Enables automatic route aggregation. Only available when using RIPv2. The default is disable.
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 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 enabled, the network on this interface is 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 disabled, the VLAN state change is 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 is advertised even when the link is down. To disable advertising based on link states, disable AdvertiseWhenDown.
The default is disable.
