166 CHAPTER 6: USING ROUTING PROTOCOL COMMANDS transmits it with the specified cost value. This command can greatly enhance the RIP capability of obtaining routes, thus increases the RIP performance. If the cost value is not specified, routes will be imported according to the default cost ranging from 1 to 16. If the imported route cost value is 16, then RIP continues to announce this cost to other routers running RIP, and marks this route with HOLDDOWN. However, this router can still forward packets until the Garbage Collection timer times out (defaults to 120 seconds). Related commands: default cost. Example To import a static route with a cost of 4, enter the following: system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z. [SW5500]rip [SW5500-rip]import-route static cost 4 To set the default cost, and then import an OSPF route with this default cost, enter the following two commands: [SW5500-rip]default cost 3 [SW5500-rip]import-route ospf network Syntax network network_address undo network network_address View RIP view Parameter network_address Enter the IP network address of an interface. Description Use the network command to enable Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on the interface of a specified network segment connected to the router. Use the undo network command to disable RIP on the interface. By default, RIP is disabled on an interface. After you have enabled RIP, you must also enable RIP for a specified interface using this command. RIP only operates on the interface of specified network segments. The undo network command is similar to the undo rip work command in the VLAN Interface View, in that an interface using either command will result in the interface not receiving/transmitting RIP routes. However, if you use undo rip work, other interfaces will still forward the routes of the interfaces set to undo rip work. If you use undo network, other interfaces will not forward the routes of interfaces set to undo network.
