Usage Guidelines

RIP VRFs and interfaces that are forcibly deactivated by the software because of a severe memory state are not activated again until the out-of-memory state is cleared by using the clear rip , clear rip interface , or clear rip out-of-memory command. Use the clear rip out-of-memory command to clear the out-of-memory state completely and allow the RIP process to force the VRF or interface to shut down.

When the router begins to run out of memory, the RIP process can transition through different memory states defined as Normal, Minor, Severe, and Critical:

In Normal state, RIP VRFs and interfaces function normally.
In Minor state, RIP VRFs and interfaces that are currently active are allowed to remain active. VRFs and interfaces that are not currently active are not allowed to become active until the RIP process transitions to Normal state.
In Severe state, a few VRFs and interfaces are forcibly brought down periodically until the RIP process transitions to another state.
In Critical state, the RIP process is forcibly shut down.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the default-metric command with the redistribute command to cause RIP to use the same metric value for all redistributed routes. A default metric helps solve the problem of redistributing routes with incompatible metrics by providing a reasonable substitute and enables redistribution to proceed. If you want to set different metrics for other redistributed protocols, use the route-policy option in the redistribute command.

The RIP metric used for redistributed routes is determined by the route policy. If a route policy is not configured or the route policy does not set the RIP metric, the metric is determined based on the redistributed protocol. For VPNv4 routes redistributed by BGP, the RIP metric set at the remote PE router is used, if valid.

In all other cases (BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, EIGRP, connected, static), the metric set by the default-metric command is used. If a valid metric cannot be determined, then redistribution does not happen.

distance (RIP)

To define the administrative distance assigned to routes discovered by the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the distance admin-distance command in the appropriate configuration mode. To remove the distance definition from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.

distance admin-distance [prefix prefix-length | prefix mask]

no distance admin-distance

Syntax Description


`admin-distance`	Administrative distance to be assigned to RIP routes. Range is 0 to 255.
`prefix`	(Optional) Network IP address about which routing information should be displayed.
`prefix-length`	(Optional) The `prefix-length` argument specifies the length of the IPv4 or IPv6 prefix. A decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address compose the prefix (the network portion of the address). A slash must precede the decimal value. Range is 0 to 32 for IPv4 addresses.
`mask`	(Optional) Network mask specified in either of two ways: Network mask can be a four-part, dotted decimal address. For example, 255.0.0.0 indicates that each bit equal to 1 means the corresponding address bit is a network address. Network mask can be indicated as a slash (/) and number. For example, /8 shows that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones, and the corresponding bits of the address are the network address.

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the distance command to change the preference of RIP routes over other protocol routes. When administrative distance and redistribution features are used to together, routing behavior may be affected for routes accepted from and advertised to RIP neighbors.

Numerically, an administrative distance is an integer from 0 to 255. In general, the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative distance of 255 means that the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored.

The order in which you enter distance commands can affect the assigned administrative distances in unexpected ways.

This table lists default administrative distances.

Table 1. Default Administrative Distances of Routing Protocols
Routing Protocol	Administrative Distance Value
Connected interface	0
Static route out an interface	0
Static route to next-hop	1

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Route poisoning prevents routing loops by communicating to other routers that a route is no longer reachable, effectively removing these routes from other router's routing tables. The system default, split horizon , provides that routes learned through RIP are not advertised from the interface over which they were learned.

The poison-reverse command enables poison reverse processing of RIP router updates. A router that receives route poisoning information sends the poisoning information back to the sending router, a process called poison reverse. This process ensures that all routers on the same interface have received the poisoned route information.

If both poison- reverse and split horizon are configured, then simple split horizon behavior (suppression of routes from the interface over which they were learned) is replaced by poison reverse behavior. If split horizon is disabled, the poison reverse configuration is ignored.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Note

When you are redistributing routes (into RIP) using both command keywords for setting or matching of attributes and a route policy, the routes are run through the route policy first, followed by the keyword matching and setting.

Redistributed routing information may be filtered by the route-policy name keyword and argument. This filtering ensures that only those routes intended by the administrator are redistributed by RIP.

The RIP metric used for redistributed routes is determined by the route policy. If a route policy is not configured or the route policy does not set the RIP metric, the metric is determined based on the redistributed protocol. For VPNv4 routes redistributed by BGP, the RIP metric set at the remote PE router is used, if valid.

In all other cases (BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, EIGRP, connected, static), the metric set by the default-metric command is used. If a valid metric cannot be determined, then redistribution does not happen.

For information about routing policies, see the Routing Policy Commands on Cisco IOS XR Softwaremodule of the Cisco IOS XR Routing Command Reference.

site-of-origin (RIP)

To configure the Site of Origin (SoO) filtering on a Routing Information Protocol (RIP) interface, use the site-of-origin command in interface configuration mode. To disable SoO filtering on an interface, use the no form of this command.

site-of-origin {as-number : number | ip-address : number}

no site-of-origin {as-number : number | ip-address : number}

Syntax Description


`as-number` :	Autonomous system number. Range for 2-byte Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) is 1 to 65535. Range for 4-byte Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) in asplain format is 1 to 4294967295. Range for 4-byte Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) is asdot format is 1.0 to 65535.65535. A colon is used to separate the autonomous system number and network number.
`number`	Network number. Range is from 0 to 4294967295 when a 2-byte AS number is used. Range is from 0 to 65535 when a 4-byte AS number is used.
`ip-address` :	The IP address argument specifies the IP address in four-part, dotted-decimal notation. A colon is used to separate the IP address and network number.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.3.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.5.0	The `as-number` 4-byte number range 1.0 to 65535.65535 was supported.
Release 3.9.0	Asplain format for 4-byte Autonomous system numbers notation was supported.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

A RIP process must be capable of retrieving the SoO attribute on routes redistributed from the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) when required to support complex topologies that include MPLS VPN links between sites with backdoor links.

Use the site-of-origin command to set an SoO BGP extended community attribute that is used to identify routes that have originated from a site so that the readvertisement of that prefix back to the source site can be prevented. The SoO extended community uniquely identifies the site from which a provider edge (PE) router has learned a route.

Command	Description
poison-reverse	Enables poison reverse processing of RIP router updates.

timers basic

To adjust Routing Information Protocol (RIP) network timers, use the timers basic command in router configuration mode. To restore the timers default values, use the no form of this command.

timers basic update invalid holddown flush

no timers basic

Syntax Description


`update`	Rate, in seconds, at which updates are sent. This is the fundamental timing parameter of the routing protocol. Range is 5 to 50000.
`invalid`	Interval, in seconds, after which a route is declared invalid; it should be at least three times the value of the update argument. A route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that refresh the route. The route then enters into a holddown state. The route is marked inaccessible and is advertised as unreachable. Range is 15 to 200000.
`holddown`	Interval, in seconds, during which routing information regarding better paths is suppressed. It should be at least three times the value of the update argument. A route enters into a holddown state when an update packet is received that indicates that the route is unreachable. The route is marked inaccessible and is advertised as unreachable. When holddown expires, routes advertised by other sources are accepted, and the route is no longer inaccessible. Range is 15 to 200000.
`flush`	Amount of time, in seconds, that must pass before the route is removed from the routing table; the interval specified should be greater than the value of the `invalid` argument. If it is less than the invalid timer value, the proper holddown interval cannot elapse, which results in a new route being accepted before the holddown interval expires. Range is 16 to 250000.

Command Default

update : 30

invalid : 180

holddown : 180

flush : 240

Command Modes

Router configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.3.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The basic timing parameters for RIP are adjustable. Because RIP is running a distributed, asynchronous routing algorithm, these timers must be the same for all routers in the network.

Note

Use the show rip command to display the current and default timer values.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
rip	read, write

The following example shows how to set updates to be broadcast every 5 seconds. If a router is not heard from in 15 seconds, the route is declared unusable. Further information is suppressed for an additional 15 seconds. At the end of the flush period, the route is flushed from the routing table.


  RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router rip
  RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rip) timers basic 5 15 15 30
