45.2.3.7 Configuring Forwarding Route
When BEIGRP forwards other types of routes, BEIGRP complies with the following regulations:
 If the present route is static or directly-connected, the command default-metric need not be configured
and other compound distance parameters (bandwidth, delay, reliability, effective load and MTU) are
directly obtained from the current port.
 If the present routes are routes of other BEIGRP processes, the default-metric command need not be
configured and its compound distance parameters are directly obtained from the BEIGRP process.
 The default-metric command must be configured when routes of other protocols such as rip and ospf
are sent. The suitable distance of the route forwarding is determined by the configuration value. If the
command is not configured, the route forwarding cannot function.
On the switch where BEIGRP and RIP simultaneously run, to make BEIGRP neighbors learn the routes
learned by the RIP protocol in the local switch, run the following command.
Command Purpose
default-metric bandwidth delay
reliability loading mtu
Configures the default vector distance
for route forwarding.
redistribute protocol[route-map
name]
Forwards routes to the BEIGRP
protocol.
45.2.3.8 Configuring Other BEIGRP Parameters
To adjust to different network conditions and make BEIGRP more efficient, you need modify the following
parameters:

Modify the interval for BEIGRP to send hello message and neighbor timeout time.

Disable the horizon split.
45.2.3.8.1 Modify the interval for BEIGRP to send hello message and neighbor
timeout time
The following objectives needed bythe BEIGRP hello protocol to perform correct BEIGRP operations are
listed:
 It can find new accessible neighbor. The detection of neighbor is an automatic process without any
manual configuration.

It authenticates neighbor configuration and only allows communication between neighbors that are
configured in compatible mode.

It continuously monitors neighbor's usability and detects the disappearance of neighbors.
