The distance command also allows you to manipulate route metrics. Use the command to assign different weights to routes so that the ones with the lower weight or administrative distance assigned are preferred. To set route metrics, use either of the following commands in the ROUTER RIP mode: Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose distance weight [ip-address mask ROUTER RIP [access-list-name]] offset access-list-name {in | out} ROUTER RIP offset [interface] Apply a weight to all routes or a specific route and ACL. Configure the following parameters: • weight range: 1 to 255 (default is 120) • ip-address mask: the IP address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D), and the mask in slash format (/x). • access-list-name: name of a configured IP ACL. Apply an additional number to the incoming or outgoing route metrics. Configure the following parameters: • access-list-name: the name of a configured IP ACL • offset range: 0 to 16. • interface: the type, slot, and number of an interface. Use the show config command in the ROUTER RIP mode to view configuration changes. Debug RIP The debug ip rip command enables RIP debugging. When debugging is enabled, you can view information on RIP protocol changes or RIP routes. To enable RIP debugging, use the following command in the EXEC privilege mode: Command Syntax debug ip rip [interface | database | events | trigger] Command Mode EXEC privilege Purpose Enable debugging of RIP. The example below shows the confirmation when the debug function is enabled. FTOS#debug ip rip RIP protocol debug is ON FTOS# To disable RIP, use the no debug ip rip command.
