z 

Set the preference of RIP to change the preference order of routing protocols. This order makes 

sense when more than one route to the same destination is discovered by multiple routing 

protocols. 

z 

Redistribute external routes in an environment with multiple routing protocols. 

Before configuring RIP route control, perform the following tasks:  

z 

Configuring network layer addresses of interfaces so that adjacent nodes are reachable to each 

other at the network layer 

z 

Configuring basic RIP functions 

Additional metric is the metric added to the original metrics of RIP routes on an interface. It does not 

directly change the metric value of a RIP route in the routing table of a router, but will be added to 

incoming or outgoing RIP routes on the interface. 

Follow these steps to set additional routing metric: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter interface view  

interface interface-type interface-number 

— 

Set the additional routing 
metric to be added for 
incoming RIP routes on this 
interface 

rip metricin value 

Optional 

0 by default 

Set the additional routing 
metric to be added for 
outgoing RIP routes on this 
interface 

rip metricout value 

Optional 

1 by default 

 

The rip metricout command takes effect only on the RIP routes learnt by the router and the RIP routes 

generated by the router itself, but the command is invalid for any route imported to RIP from other 

routing protocols. 

 

Rip route summarization means that when the router advertises RIP updates, different subnet routes in 

the same natural network segment can be aggregated into one route with a natural mask for 

transmission to another network segment. This function is used to reduce the routing traffic on the 

network as well as the size of the routing table. 

When it is necessary to advertise RIP route updates in a subnet, disable the route summarization for 

RIP-2.
