z 

The filter-policy import command filters the RIP routes received from neighbors, and the routes 

being filtered out will neither be added to the routing table nor be advertised to any neighbors. 

z 

The  filter-policy export command filters all the routes to be advertised, including the routes 

redistributed with the import-route command and routes learned from neighbors. 

z 

You can also use the filter-policy export command to filter outgoing routes redistributed from a 

specified routing protocol. 

 

Follow these steps to set RIP preference: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter RIP view 

rip  

— 

Set the RIP preference 

preference value 

Required 

100 by default 

 

Follow these steps to configure RIP to import routes from another protocol: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter RIP view 

rip  

— 

Configure a default cost for 
an incoming route 

default cost value 

Optional 

1 by default 

Configure RIP to 
redistribute routes from 
another protocol 

import-route protocol 
[ process-id ] [ cost value | 
route-policy 
route-policy-name ]* 

Required 

By default, RIP does not redistribute 
any route from other protocols. 

 

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.
