This task allows you to implement load balancing over multiple equal-cost RIP routes.  

Follow these steps to configure the maximum number of load balanced routes: 

Enter system view 

–– 

Enter RIP view 

rip [ process-id ] 
[ vpn-instance 
vpn-instance-name ] 

–– 

Configure the maximum 
number of load balanced routes 

maximum load-balancing 
number 

Optional 

The default maximum number 
is 8. 

 

Some fields in the RIPv1 message must be zero. These fields are called zero fields. You can enable 

zero field check on received RIPv1 messages. If such a field contains a non-zero value, the RIPv1 

message will not be processed. If you are sure that all messages are trusty, you can disable zero field 

check to save CPU resources. 

This feature does not apply to RIPv2 packets that have no zero fields.  

Follow these steps to enable zero field check on incoming RIPv1 messages: 

Enter system view 

–– 

Enter RIP view 

rip [ process-id ] 
[ vpn-instance 
vpn-instance-name ]

You can enable source IP address check on incoming RIP updates.  

For a message received on an Ethernet interface, RIP compares the source IP address of the message 

with the IP address of the interface. If they are not in the same network segment, RIP discards the 

message.
