RIP Network Adjustment and Optimization
In some special network environments, some RIP features need to be configured and RIP network
performance needs to be adjusted and optimized. By performing the configuration 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, and
z
Configuring RIP to unicast RIP messages on interfaces with special requirements.
Configuration Prerequisites
Before adjusting RIP, perform the following tasks:
z
Configuring the network layer addresses of interfaces so that adjacent nodes are reachable to
each other at the network layer
z
Configuring basic RIP functions
Configuration Tasks
Configuring RIP timers
Follow these steps to configure RIP timers:
