Command Reference
Description The import-route command is used to redistribute the route of another protocol
by using a certain value. RIP regards the redistributed route as its own route and
transmits it with the specified value. This command can greatly enhance the RIP
capability of obtaining routes, thus increasing the RIP performance.
If the cost value is not specified, routes will be redistributed according to the
default cost. It is in the range of 1 to 16. If it is larger than or equal to 16, it
indicates an unreachable route and the transmission will be stopped in 120 seconds.
