Routing Information Protocol (RIP) | 847
To control the source of RIP route information, use the following commands, in the ROUTER RIP mode:
Another method of controlling RIP (or any routing protocol) routing information is to filter the information
through a prefix list. A prefix lists is applied to incoming or outgoing routes. Those routes must meet the
conditions of the prefix list; if not, FTOS drops the route. Prefix lists are globally applied on all interfaces
running RIP. Configure the prefix list in the PREFIX LIST mode prior to assigning it to the RIP process.
For configuration information on prefix lists, see Chapter 17, IP Access Control Lists, Prefix Lists, and
Route-maps.
To apply prefix lists to incoming or outgoing RIP routes, use the following commands in the ROUTER
RIP mode:
In addition to filtering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the RIP
process. With the
redistribute command syntax, you can include OSPF, static, or directly connected routes
in the RIP process.
To add routes from other routing instances or protocols, use any of the following commands in the
ROUTER RIP mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
neighbor ip-address ROUTER RIP Define a specific router to exchange RIP information
between it and the Dell Force10 system.
You can use this command multiple times to exchange
RIP information with as many RIP networks as you
want.
passive-interface interface ROUTER RIP Disable a specific interface from sending or receiving
RIP routing information.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
distribute-list prefix-list-name in ROUTER RIP Assign a configured prefix list to all incoming
RIP routes.
distribute-list prefix-list-name out ROUTER RIP Assign a configured prefix list to all outgoing
RIP routes.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
redistribute {connected | static} [metric
metric-value] [route-map map-name]
ROUTER RIP Include directly connected or
user-configured (static) routes in RIP.
• metric range: 0 to 16
• map-name: name of a configured route
map.
redistribute isis [level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2] [metric
metric-value] [route-map map-name]
ROUTER RIP Include IS-IS routes in RIP.
• metric range: 0 to 16
• map-name: name of a configured route
map.
