Configuring RIP
9-41
interface is the interface number.
2. Use the passive-interface default command in Router Configuration mode to
suppress routing updates on all RIP interfaces, as shown below:
MOT(config-rip)#passive-interface ethernet <slot>/<interface>
where:
slot is the module slot number.
interface is the interface number.
Redistributing Routes into RIP
Each routing protocol uses different metrics to transfer routes. Some protocols use
hop count metrics, while others use bandwidth and delay attributes to define metrics.
When a specific route is redistributed from one routing protocol or domain into
another, a common metric must be applied by the receiving protocol. Routes are
redistributed to advertise networks on another routing protocol.
Follow these steps to redistribute routes into RIP:
1. Enter the routing process in which the routes are to be redistributed, as shown
below:
MOT(config)#router rip
2. Choose from one or more of the following options to redistribute routes from a
specified protocol:
• Use the redistribute connected command in Router Configuration mode to
redistribute connected routes into RIP, as shown below:
MOT(config-rip)#redistribute connected {metric <n> | route-map
<map-name> | <cr>}
Note: The metric values for applying non-RIP routes are limited to values
from 1 to 16, which are the metrics used by RIP. RIP metrics are established
by hop-counts.
