• Configure IP addresses for interfaces, and make sure that all neighboring nodes can reach each other. • Configure RIP basic functions. Configuring RIP timers You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting RIP timers. Based on network performance, make RIP timers of RIP routers identical to each other to avoid unnecessary traffic or route oscillation. To configure RIP timers: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter RIP view. 3. Configure values for RIP timers. Command system-view rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] timers { garbage-collect garbage-collect-value | suppress suppress-value | timeout timeout-value | update update-value } * Remarks N/A N/A Optional. The default update timer, timeout timer, suppress timer, and garbage-collect timer are 30s, 180s, 120s and 120s respectively. Configuring split horizon and poison reverse The split horizon and poison reverse functions can avoid routing loops. If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect. Enabling split horizon The split horizon function disables an interface from sending routes received from the interface to prevent routing loops between adjacent routers. To enable split horizon: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter interface view. 3. Enable split horizon. Command system-view interface interface-type interface-number rip split-horizon Remarks N/A N/A Optional. Enabled by default. Enabling poison reverse The poison reverse function allows an interface to advertise the routes received from it, but the metric of these routes is set to 16, making them unreachable. This can avoid routing loops between neighbors. To enable poison reverse: 28
