IP routing must be enabled prior to enabling RIP. The first command in the
preceding sequence enables IP routing.

Changing the RIP Type on a VLAN Interface

When you enable RIP on a VLAN interface, RIPv2-only is enabled by default.
You can change the RIP type to one of the following on an individual VLAN
interface basis:
Version 1 only
■
Version 2 only (the default)
■
■ Version 1 - compatible - version 2
To change the RIP type supported on a VLAN interface, enter commands such
as the following:
HPswitch(config)# vlan 1
HPswitch(vlan-1)# ip rip v1-only
HPswitch(vlan-1)# exit
HPswitch(config)# write memory
Syntax: [no] ip rip < v1-only | v1-compatible-v2 | v2-only >

Changing the Cost of Routes Learned on a VLAN Interface

By default, the switch interface increases the cost of a RIP route that is learned
on the interface. The switch increases the cost by adding one to the route's
metric before storing the route.
You can change the amount that an individual VLAN interface adds to the
metric of RIP routes learned on the interface.
RIP considers a route with a metric of 16 to be unreachable. Use this metric
only if you do not want the route to be used. In fact, you can prevent the switch
from using a specific interface for routes learned though that interface by
setting its metric to 16.
To increase the cost a VLAN interface adds to RIP routes learned on that
interface, enter commands such as the following:
HPswitch(config)# vlan 1
HPswitch(vlan-1)# ip rip metric 5
