Tuning And Optimizing Rip Networks; Configuring Rip Timers; Configuring Split Horizon And Poison Reverse - HP 3600 v2 series Configuration Manual

To do...
Configure a default metric for
redistributed routes
Redistribute routes from another
protocol
NOTE:
Only active routes can be redistributed. Use the display ip routing-table protocol command to display
route state information.

Tuning and optimizing RIP networks

Complete the following tasks before tuning and optimizing RIP networks:
Configure network addresses for interfaces, and make neighboring nodes reachable to each other
•
Configure RIP basic functions
•

Configuring RIP timers

You can change the RIP network convergence speed by adjusting RIP timers.
Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter RIP view
Configure values for RIP timers
NOTE:
Based on network performance, make RIP timers of RIP routers identical to each other to avoid
unnecessary traffic or route oscillation.

Configuring split horizon and poison reverse

NOTE:
If 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.
Use the command...
default cost value
import-route protocol [ process-id
| all-processes | allow-ibgp ] [ cost
cost | route-policy
route-policy-name | tag tag ] *
Use the command...
system-view
rip [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
timers { garbage-collect
garbage-collect-value | suppress
suppress-value | timeout
timeout-value | update
update-value } *

Remarks
Optional
The default metric of a redistributed
route is 0.
Required
No redistribution is configured by
default.
Remarks

Optional
The default update timer, timeout
timer, suppress timer, and
garbage-collect timer are 30s,
180s, 120s and 120s
respectively.
