RIP dialog box--Interface Advance tab fields


Field Description
Address
Display the address of the entry in the IP RIP Interface Table.
IfIndex
The index value of the RIP interface.
Enable
Displays if the RIP interface is enabled or disabled.
Supply
Enables (true) or disables (false) the switch to send out RIP updates on this interface.
Listen
Configures whether (true) or not (false) the switch will learn routes on this interface.
Poison
Sets whether (true) or not (false) RIP routes on the interface learned from a neighbor are advertised back to the neighbor. If disabled, split horizon is invoked and IP routes learned from an immediate neighbor are not advertised back to the neighbor. If enabled, the RIP updates sent to a neighbor from which a route is learned are "poisoned" with a metric of 16. Therefore, the receiver neighbor will ignore this route because the metric 16 indicates infinite hops in the network.
DefaultSupply
Enables (true) or disables (false) an advertisement of a default route on this interface. This command takes effect only if a default route exists in the routing table.
DefaultListen
Enables (true) or disables (false) the switch to accept the default route learned through RIP on this interface. The default is disabled.
TriggeredUpdate
Enables (true) or disables (false) the switch to send out RIP updates on this interface.
AutoAggregate
Enables (true) or disables (false) automatic route aggregation on this interface. When enabled, the switch automatically aggregates routes to their natural mask when they are advertised on an interface*. The default is disabled.

*In previous software releases, this configuration changed the mask for all routes. Now, this configuration aggregates only the routes with a mask length longer than natural mask.

InPolicy
Right click in the InPolicy name field and select the policy name to be applied from the PolicyName dialog box. This policy will determine whether to learn a route on this interface. It also specifies the parameters of the route when it is added to the routing table.
OutPolicy
Right click in the OutPolicy name field and select the policy name to be applied from the PolicyName dialog box. This policy will determine whether to advertise a route from the routing table on this interface. This policy also specifies the parameters of the advertisement.
Cost
Indicate the RIP cost for this interface. Enter a value between1 to 15. The default is 1.
