Cisco 350 Series Administration Guide

IP Configuration: RIPv2
How Rip Operates on the Device
Cisco 350, 350X and 550X Series Managed Switches, Firmware Release 2.4, ver 0.4 338
18
Causes RIP to use the predefined default metric value for the propagated route
configuration.
• Transparent (default)
Causes RIP to use the routing table metric as the RIP metric for the propagated route
configuration.
This results in the following behavior:
- If the metric value of a route is equal to or less than 15, this value is used in the RIP
protocol when advertising this route.
- If the metric value of a static route is greater than 15, the route is not advertised to
other routers using RIP.
• User Defined Metric
Causes RIP to use the metric value entered by the user.
Using RIP in Network with Non-Rip Devices
Static route configuration and connected interfaces must be taken into account when using
RIP. This is shown in the following, which illustrates a network where some routers support
RIP and others do not.
