RIP Settings - Advanced
Web version
Configuration steps
To configure RIP's advanced settings on a particular interface, highlight RIP from the Routing Interface screen.
The RIP Configuration screen appears:
Select the Advanced tab and enable all of the
options you wish by clicking in each box.
1.
Split horizon processing prevents routing
loops and reduces bandwidth consumption.
The default setting is enabled. Select the
checkmark to disable.
2.
Poison reverse processing prevents larger
loops in a network by setting the metric of
neighboring routers to infinity, and therefore,
unreachable. The default setting is disabled.
Select the checkmark to enable.
3.
Enable triggered updates sets this interface
to issue updates to neighboring routers as
soon the interface learns of any change to the
metric changes in any route. The default
setting is disabled. Click on the box to enable.
4.
Process host routes in packets received
sets this interface to update its routing table
when it receives host routes from other
routers. The default setting is disabled.
Typically routers exchange network routes,
not host routes. When this parameter is
disabled, this interface can still have and will
act on host entries in its routing table, but it
will not accept new host routes from others.
Click on the box to enable.
5.
Include host routes in packets sent sets
this interface to send host route updates to
other routers. The default setting is disabled.
Similar to Process host routes in packets
received, enabling this parameter means host
routes learned are sent to other routers. When
this parameter is disabled, this interface can
and act on host entries, but will not forward host routes to other routers.
