Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter RIP view. 3. Redistribute routes from another routing protocol. 4. (Optional.) Configure a default cost for redistributed routes. Command Remarks system-view N/A rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] N/A import-route protocol [ process-id | all-processes | allow-ibgp ] [ cost cost | route-policy route-policy-name | tag tag ] * By default, RIP route redistribution is disabled. This command can redistribute only active routes. To view active routes, use the display ip routing-table protocol command. default cost value The default setting is 0. Tuning and optimizing RIP networks Configuration prerequisites Before you tune and optimize RIP networks, complete the following tasks: • Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes. • Configure basic RIP. Configuring RIP timers You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting the following RIP timers: • Update timer-Specifies the interval between route updates. • Timeout timer-Specifies the route aging time. If no update for a route is received within the aging time, the metric of the route is set to 16. • Suppress timer-Specifies how long a RIP route stays in suppressed state. When the metric of a route is 16, the route enters the suppressed state. A suppressed route can be replaced by an updated route that is received from the same neighbor before the suppress timer expires and has a metric less than 16. • Garbage-collect timer-Specifies the interval from when the metric of a route becomes 16 to when it is deleted from the routing table. RIP advertises the route with a metric of 16. If no update is announced for that route before the garbage-collect timer expires, the route is deleted from the routing table. IMPORTANT: To avoid unnecessary traffic or route flapping, configure identical RIP timer settings on RIP routers. To configure RIP timers: Step 1. Enter system view.

Tuning and optimizing RIP networks
Configuration prerequisites
Before you tune and optimize RIP networks, complete the following tasks:
Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.
Configure basic RIP.
Configuring RIP timers
You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting the following RIP timers:
Update timer
—Specifies the interval between route updates.
Timeout timer
—Specifies the route aging time. If no update for a route is received within the aging
time, the metric of the route is set to 16.
Suppress timer
—Specifies how long a RIP route stays in suppressed state. When the metric of a
route is 16, the route enters the suppressed state. A suppressed route can be replaced by an
updated route that is received from the same neighbor before the suppress timer expires and has a
metric less than 16.
Garbage-collect timer
—Specifies the interval from when the metric of a route becomes 16 to when
it is deleted from the routing table. RIP advertises the route with a metric of 16. If no update is
announced for that route before the garbage-collect timer expires, the route is deleted from the
routing table.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid unnecessary traffic or route flapping, configure identical RIP timer settings on RIP routers.
