Switch 7700 Configuration Guide, v2
RIP 73
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.
By default, RIP does not import the route information of other protocols.
Configure Default Cost for the Imported Route
When you use the import-route command to import the routes of other
protocols, you can specify their cost. If you do not specify the cost of the imported
route, RIP will set the cost to the default cost, specified by the default cost
parameter.
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.
By default, the cost value for the RIP imported route is 1.
Set the RIP Preference
Each routing protocol has its own preference, by which the routing policy selects
the optimal one from the routes of different protocols. The greater the preference
value, the lower the preference. The preference of RIP can be set manually.
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.
By default, the preference of RIP is 100.
Set Additional Routing Metric
The additional routing metric is the input or output routing metric added to an RIP
route. It does not change the metric value of the route in the routing table, but
adds a specified metric value when the interface receives or sends a route.
