Setup Guide
Exercise caution when applying an offset command to routers on a broadcast network, as the router using the offset command is
modifying RIP advertisements before sending out those advertisements.
The distance command also allows you to manipulate route metrics. To assign dierent weights to routes so that the ones with the
lower weight or administrative distance assigned are preferred, use the
distance command.
To set route matrixes, use the following commands.
• Apply a weight to all routes or a specic route and ACL.
ROUTER RIP mode
distance weight [ip-address mask [access-list-name]]
Congure the following parameters:
– weight: the range is from 1 to 255. The default is 120.
– ip-address mask: the IP address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D), and the mask in slash format (/x).
– access-list-name: the name of a congured IP ACL.
• Apply an additional number to the incoming or outgoing route metrics.
ROUTER RIP mode
offset-list access-list-name {in | out} offset [interface]
Congure the following parameters:
– prefix-list-name: the name of an established Prex list to determine which incoming routes are modied
– offset: the range is from 0 to 16.
– interface: the type, slot, and number of an interface.
To view the conguration changes, use the show config command in ROUTER RIP mode.
Debugging RIP
The debug ip rip command enables RIP debugging.
When you enable debugging, you can view information on RIP protocol changes or RIP routes.
To enable RIP debugging, use the following command.
•
debug ip rip [interface | database | events | trigger]
EXEC privilege mode
Enable debugging of RIP.
Example of the debug ip rip Command
The following example shows the conrmation when you enable the debug function.
DellEMC#debug ip rip
RIP protocol debug is ON
DellEMC#
To disable RIP, use the no debug ip rip command.
