3-15Configuring RIP Network OptimizationComplete the following tasks before configuring RIP network optimization:z Configure network addresses for interfaces, and make neighboring nodes reachable to eachother;z Configure RIP basic functions.Configuring RIP TimersYou can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting RIP timers.Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view ––Enter RIP view rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instancevpn-instance-name ] ––Configure values for RIP timerstimers { garbage-collectgarbage-collect-value | suppresssuppress-value | timeouttimeout-value | updateupdate-value } *OptionalThe default update timer, timeouttimer, suppress timer, andgarbage-collect timer are 30s,180s, 120s and 120s respectively.Based on network performance, you need to make RIP timers of RIP routers identical to each other toavoid unnecessary traffic or route oscillation.Configuring Split Horizon and Poison ReverseIf both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.The split horizon and poison reverse functions can avoid routing loops.Enabling split horizonThe split horizon function disables an interface from sending routes received from the interface toprevent routing loops between adjacent routers.Follow these steps to enable split horizon:
