Configuring RIP
9-37
1. To enable route summarization, use the auto-summary command in Router RIP
Configuration mode, as shown in the example below. It is disabled by default.
MOT(config-rip)# auto-summary
2. If you disconnect subnetworks, disable automatic route summarization to
advertise the subnetworks, using the no auto-summary command. When route
summarization is disabled, the software transmits subnet and host routing
information across classful network boundaries.
Applying an Offset List
To increase incoming and outgoing metrics to routes learned via RIP, use an offset list.
You can also limit the offset list using an access list or an interface. To increase the
value of routing metrics using an offset list, use the offset-list command in Router
RIP Configuration mode, as shown below:
MOT(config-rip)#offset-list [<access-list-number> | any] {in | out} offset
[type/number]
where:
access-list-number is the standard access list number to be applied; values are
from 1 to 99. If offset is 0, no action is taken.
any is any access list number.
in applies the access list to incoming metrics.
out applies the access list to outgoing metrics.
offset is the positive offset from 0 to16 to be applied to metrics for networks
matching the access list. If the offset is 0, no action is taken.
type is the interface type to which the offset list is applied.
number is the interface number to which the offset list is applied.
Examples
In the following example, the router applies an offset of 3 to the router delay
component of access list 13:
