RIP parameters and defaults 28 TABLE 171 RIP global parameters (Continued) Parameter Description Default Learning default routes Advertising and learning with specific neighbors The router can learn default routes from its RIP neighbors. NOTE: You also can enable or disable this parameter on an individual interface basis. Refer to Table 172 on page 909. The Layer 3 Switch learns and advertises RIP routes with all its neighbors by default. You can prevent the Layer 3 Switch from advertising routes to specific neighbors or learning routes from specific neighbors. Disabled Learning and advertising permitted for all neighbors Reference page 915 page 915 RIP interface parameters Table 172 lists the interface-level RIP parameters and their default values, and indicates where you can find configuration information. .TABLE 172 RIP interface parameters Parameter Description Default Reference RIP state and version Metric Learning default routes Loop prevention Advertising and learning specific routes The state of the protocol and the version that is supported on the interface. The version can be one of the following: • Version 1 only • Version 2 only • Version 1, but also compatible with version 2 Disabled NOTE: You also must enable RIP globally. page 910 A numeric cost the router adds to RIP routes learned on the interface. This parameter applies only to RIP routes. 1 (one) page 910 Locally overrides the global setting. Refer to Table 171 on page 908. Disabled page 915 The method a router uses to prevent routing loops caused by advertising a route on the same interface as the one on which the router learned the route. • Split horizon - The router does not advertise a route on the same interface as the one on which the router learned the route. • Poison reverse - The router assigns a cost of 16 ("infinite" or "unreachable") to a route before advertising it on the same interface as the one on which the router learned the route. Poison reverse NOTE: Enabling split horizon disables poison reverse on the interface. page 915 You can control the routes that a Layer 3 Switch learns or advertises. The Layer 3 Switch learns page 916 and advertises all RIP routes on all interfaces. PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 909 53-1002266-01
