In this instance, an interface with an IP address 10.71.0.2 is running RIP in passive mode.
Disabling RIP Passive Mode
Use the following command to disable the RIP passive mode previously set on an interface:
configure router rip passive-interface {cable-mac <mac> | default | gigabitethernet <slot>/<port> |
tengigabitethernet <slot>/<port>} no
The system will respond:
RIP interface disabled
Default Route Processing
By default, each interface running RIP advertises an available default route, static or learned via RIP, with a metric of 1.
Because default route propagation must be controlled carefully, system administrators can set the metric to be used for
default route advertisements on a per interface basis. If the default route metric is set to 0, the default route is not
advertised.
The following default route metric tasks, along with their associated commands are grouped for convenience. This is not
intended to be a step-by-step procedure.
Setting Default Route Metric
Use the following command to set the default route metric:
configure interface {cable-mac <mac> | default | gigabitethernet <slot>/<port> | tengigabitethernet
<slot>/<port>} ip rip default-metric <0-15>
Where:
cable-mac <mac>
is the MAC identifier
default
sets all RIP enabled interfaces to be passive
gigabitethernet <slot>/<port> |
tengigabitethernet <slot>/<port>
is the RCM slot number/port number of the specified
interface
0–15
are available default metrics; the original default metric is 0
