point interfaces and may be necessary when noripin is used on a wildcard interface
descriptor.
metricin metric
Specifies the RIP metric to add to incoming routes before they are installed in the routing
table. The default is the kernel interface metric plus 1 (which is the default RIP hop count).
If this value is specified, it will be used as the absolute value. The kernel metric will not be
added. This option is used to make this router prefer RIP routes learned via the specified
interface(s) less than RIP routes from other interfaces.
metricout metric
Specifies the RIP metric to be added to routes that are send via the specified interface(s).
The default is zero. This option is used to make other routers prefer other sources of RIP
routes over this router.
version 1
Specifies that RIP packets send via the specified interface(s) will be version 1 packets. This
is the default.
version 2
Specifies that RIP version 2 packets will be sent on the specified interfaces(s). If IP multi-
cast support is available on this interface, the default is to send full version 2 packets. If it
is not available, version 1 compatible version 2 packets will be sent.
multicast
Specifies that RIP version 2 packets should be multicast on this interface. This is the
default.
broadcast
Specifies that RIP version 1 compatible version 2 packets should be broadcast on this inter-
face, even if IP multicast is available.
[secondary] authentication [none |[simple|md5] password]
This defines the authentication type to use. It applies only to RIP version 2 and is ignored
for RIP-1 packets. The default authentication type is none. If a password is specified, the
authentication type defaults to simple. The password should be a quoted string with
between 0 and 16 characters.
If secondary is specified, this defines the secondary authentication. If omitted, the pri-
mary authentication is specified. The default is primary authentication of none and no
secondary authentication.
trustedgateways gateway_list
Defines the list of gateways from which RIP will accept updates. The gateway_list is simply a list
of host names or IP addresses. By default, all routers on the shared network are trusted to sup-
ply routing information. But if the trustedgateways clause is specified only updates from the
gateways in the list are accepted.
sourcegateways gateway_list
Defines a list of routers to which RIP sends packets directly, not through multicast or broadcast.
This can be used to send different routing information to specific gateways. Updates to gateways
in this list are not affected by noripout on the interface.
traceoptions trace_options
Specifies the tracing options for RIP. (See Trace Statements and the RIP specific tracing options
below.)
Tracing options
The policy option logs info whenever a new route is announce, the metric being announced changes or a
route goes or leaves holddown.
Packet tracing options (which may be modified with detail, send or recv):
packets All RIP packets.
request RIP information request packets, such as REQUEST, POLL and POLLENTRY
response
RIP RESPONSE packets, which is the type of packet that actually contains routing informa-
tion.
