RIP tab fields  

The following table describes the fields on the RIP tab.


Field Description
RIP
Globally sets the Routing Information Protocol (RIP): on or off. The default is off.
Listen to Route Updates
Enables or disables listening to route updates. When enabled, the Web Switching Module learns routes from other routers.
The default is disabled.

Supply Route Updates
Enables or disables supplying route updates. When enabled, the Web Switching Module supplies routes to other routers.
The default is disabled.

Listen to Default Routes
Enables or disables listening to default routes. When enabled, the Web Switching Module accepts RIP default routes from other routers and gives them priority over configured default gateways. When disabled (default), the Web Switching Module rejects RIP default routes.
Supply Static Route Updates
Enables or disables supplying static route updates. When enabled the Web Switching Module supplies static routes.
The default is disabled.

Poison Reverse
Enables or disables the RIP poison reverse. When enabled, the Web Switching Module uses split horizon with poisoned reverse. When disabled (default), the Web Switching Module only uses split horizon.
Update Period
Sets the RIP update period--1 to 120 seconds.
The default is 30 seconds.

Advertise VIP Host Routes
Enables or disables the advertisement of virtual IP addresses as Host Routes. If a VIP route exists in a routing table, it will always be advertised except when it is included in another network route that is already being advertised.
Note: If all real servers behind a VIP go down, the route gets removed from the routing table, and will not be advertised. If all real servers are disabled, the VIP route is not eliminated from the routing table, and the WSM continues to advertise the route.
