Operation Manual – Routing ProtocolH3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 3 RIP Configuration3-9To do... Use the command... RemarksConfigure RIP toredistribute routes fromanother protocolimport-route protocol[ process-id | allow-ibgp ][ cost value | route-policyroute-policy-name ]*RequiredBy default, RIP doesnot redistribute anyroute from otherprotocols.3.5 RIP Network Adjustment and OptimizationIn some special network environments, some RIP features need to be configured andRIP network performance needs to be adjusted and optimized. By performing theconfiguration mentioned in this section, the following can be implemented:z Changing the convergence speed of RIP network by adjusting RIP timers;z Avoiding routing loops by configuring split horizon;z Packet validation in network environments with high security requirements, andz Configuring RIP to unicast RIP messages on interfaces with specialrequirements.3.5.1 Configuration PrerequisitesBefore adjusting RIP, perform the following tasks:z Configuring the network layer addresses of interfaces so that adjacent nodes arereachable to each other at the network layerz Configuring basic RIP functions3.5.2 Configuration TasksI. Configuring RIP timersFollow these steps to configure RIP timers:To do... Use the command... RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enter RIP view rip —Set the RIP timerstimers { updateupdate-timer | timeouttimeout-timer } *RequiredBy default, the Update timer is 30seconds and the Timeout timer 180seconds.
