Configuring RIP Global Settings

Syntax:

set rip

auto-summary {off | on}

expire-interval {<1-65535> | default}

update-interval {<1-65535> | default}

Parameters:

Parameter

Description

auto-summary {off | on}

Automatically aggregates and redistributes non-classful RIP Version 1 into RIP. This applies only to RIP Version 1. If the Auto summarization field option is unchecked, you must do the aggregation and redistribution manually by using route aggregation and route redistribution.

Note - Take care when you set this parameter, as RIP has no protocol mechanism to detect misconfiguration.

Default: on

expire-interval {<1-65535> | default}

The amount of time, in seconds, that must pass without receiving an update for a given route before the route is considered to have timed out. This value should be 6 times the update interval in order to allow for the possibility that packets containing an update could be dropped by the network.

Range: 1-65535 seconds

Default: 180 seconds

update-interval {<1-65535> | default}

The amount of time, in seconds, between regularly scheduled RIP updates. To prevent synchronization of periodic updates, RIP updates are actually sent at a time from the uniform distribution on the interval (0.5T, 1.5T) where T corresponds to the Update Interval value.

Note - Take care when you set this parameter, as RIP has no protocol mechanism to detect misconfiguration.

Range: 1-65535 seconds

Default: 30 seconds
