It does notchange the metric value of the route in the routing table, but adds a specified metricvalue when the interface receives or sends a route.Perform the following configuration in interface view.Table 3-4 Configure additional metricsOperation CommandSet the additional metrics of the routewhen the interface receives an RIPpacketrip metricin valueDisable the additional metrics of theroute when the interface receives an RIPpacketundo rip metricinSet the additional metrics of the routewhen the interface sends an RIP packet rip metricout value [ all-route ]Disable the additional metrics of theroute when the interface sends an RIPpacketundo rip metricoutBy default, the additional metrics added to the route when RIP sends the packet is 1.The additional routing metrics when RIP receives the packet is 0 by default.3.2.5 Configuring the Route Redistribution of RIPRIP allows routes from other routing protocols to be redistributed into the RIP routingtable. It also allows to set the default metrics used for redistribution.RIP can redistribute these types of routes: Direct, Static, OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS.Perform the following configuration in RIP view.Table 3-5 Configure the route redistribution of RIPOperation CommandRedistribute routes from other protocolsimport-route protocol [ allow-ibgp ][ cost value ] [ route-policyroute-policy-name ]Cancel the redistribution of routes fromother protocols undo import-route protocolConfigure the default routing cost default cost valueRestore the default routing cost undo default costBy default, RIP does not redistribute the route information of other protocols.
