28 RIP parameters and defaults • Version (V1) • V1 compatible with V2 • Version (V2) (the default) ICMP host unreachable message for undeliverable ARPs If the router receives an ARP request packet that it is unable to deliver to the final destination because of the ARP timeout and no ARP response is received (the router knows of no route to the destination address), the router sends an ICMP Host Unreachable message to the source. RIP parameters and defaults The following tables list the RIP parameters, their default values, and where to find configuration information. RIP global parameters Table 171 lists the global RIP parameters and their default values, and indicates where you can find configuration information. TABLE 171 RIP global parameters Parameter Description Default Reference RIP state The global state of the protocol. NOTE: You also must enable the protocol on individual interfaces. Globally enabling the protocol does not allow interfaces to send and receive RIP information. Refer to Table 172 on page 909. Disabled Administrative The administrative distance is a numeric value assigned to 120 distance each type of route on the router. When the router is selecting from among multiple routes (sometimes of different origins) to the same destination, the router compares the administrative distances of the routes and selects the route with the lowest administrative distance. This parameter applies to routes originated by RIP. The administrative distance stays with a route when it is redistributed into other routing protocols. Redistribution RIP can redistribute routes from other routing protocols such as Disabled OSPF and BGP4 into RIP. A redistributed route is one that a router learns through another protocol, then distributes into RIP. Redistribution metric RIP assigns a RIP metric (cost) to each external route redistributed from another routing protocol into RIP. An external route is a route with at least one hop (packets must travel through at least one other router to reach the destination). This parameter applies to routes that are redistributed from other protocols into RIP. 1 (one) Update interval How often the router sends route updates to its RIP neighbors. 30 seconds page 910 page 911 page 912 page 913 page 914 908 PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 53-1002266-01
