Field	Function	Action
Routing Information Protocol Configuration
General
Routing Instance Name	Specifies a name for the routing instance.	Enter the routing instance name.
Preference	Specifies the preference order of external routes learned by RIP as compared to those learned from other routing protocols.	Enter the preference of the external routes.
Metric-out	Specifies the metric value to add to routes transmitted to the neighbor.	Enter the metric value.
Update Interval	Specifies an update time interval to periodically send out routes learned by RIP to neighbors.	Enter the update time.
Route Timeout	Specifies the route timeout interval for RIP.	Enter the route timeout interval.
Policy
Import Policy	Specifies one or more policies to control which routes learned from an area are used to generate summary link-state advertisements (LSAs) into other areas. The options available are: Add—Adds an import policy. Move up—Moves the selected policy up the list of policies. Move down—Moves the selected policy down the list of policies. Remove—Removes an import policy.	Select an option.
Export Policy	Specifies one or more policies to control which summary LSAs are flooded into an area. The options available are: Add—Adds an export policy. Move up—Moves the selected policy up the list of policies. Move down—Moves the selected policy dowm the list of policies. Remove—Removes an export policy.	Select an option.
Neighbor
RIP-Enabled Interfaces	Selects interface(s) to associate with the instance.	Select the box next to the interface name to enable RIP on an interface. Click Edit to modify an interface’s settings. Note: Only logical interfaces for RIP are displayed.

Table 140: Edit RIP Global Setting Configuration Details

Field	Function	Action
General
Send	Specifies RIP send options. The options available are: Broadcast Multicast None Version-1	Select an option.
Receive	Configures RIP receive options. The options available are: Both None Version-1 Version-2	Select an option.
Route timeout (sec)	Specifies the route timeout interval for RIP.	Enter the route timeout interval value.
Update interval (sec)	Specifies the update time interval to periodically send out routes learned by RIP to neighbors.	Enter the update time interval value.
Hold timeout (sec)	Specifies period for which the expired route is retained in the routing table before being removed.	Enter the hold timeout interval period.
Metric in	Specifies the metric to add to incoming routes when advertising into RIP routes that were learned from other protocols.	Enter the metric-in value.
RIB Group	Specifies a routing table group to install RIP routes into multiple routing tables.	Select the routing table group.
Message size	Specifies the number of route entries to be included in every RIP update message.	Enter the number of route entries.
Check Zero	Specifies whether the reserved fields in a RIP packet are set to zero. The options available are: check-zero—Discards version 1 packets that have nonzero values in the reserved fields and version 2 packets that have nonzero values in the fields that must be zero. This default behavior implements the RIP version 1 and version 2 specifications. no-check-zero—Receives RIP version 1 packets with nonzero values in the reserved fields or RIP version 2 packets with nonzero values in the fields that must be zero. This behavior violates the specifications in RFC 1058 and RFC 2453.	Select an option.
Graceful switchover	Specifies graceful switchover for RIP.	Select Disable.
Restart time (sec)	Specifies the estimated time for the restart to complete.	Enter the time in seconds.
Authentication Type	Specifies the type of authentication for RIP route queries received on an interface. The options available phoare: None MD5 Simple	Select the authentication type. Enter the authentication key for MD5.
Policies tab
Import Policy	Specifies one or more policies to routes being imported into the local routing device from the neighbors. The options available are: Add—Adds an export policy. Move up—Moves the selected policy up the list of policies. Move down—Moves the selected policy down the list of policies. Remove—Removes an export policy.	Click one:
Trace Options tab
File Name	Specifies the name of the file to receive the output of the trace operation.	Enter the filename.
Number of Files	Specifies the maximum number of trace files.	Enter the filename.
File Size	Specifies the maximum size for each trace file.	Enter the file size.
World Readable	Specifies whether or not the trace file can be read by any user or not. The options available are: True—Allows any user to read the file. False up—Restricts all users being able to read the file.	Select an option.
Flags
Available Flags	Specifies the available trace operation to perform.	–
Configured Flags	Specifies the configured trace operation to perform.	–
