Command Description 
version 1|2|both 
Configures the RIP version used by this interface.  
The default value is version 
2.  
supply disable|enable 
When enabled, the switch supplies routes to other routers. This command is 
enabled by default. 
 
listen disable|enable 
When enabled, the switch learns routes from other routers. This command is 
enabled by default.
 
poison disable|enable 
When enabled, the switch uses split horizon with poisoned reverse. When 
disabled, the switch uses only split horizon. The default value is 
disabled.  
split disable|enable 
Enables or disables split horizon. The default value is enabled. 
trigg disable|enable 
Enables or disables Triggered Updates. Triggered Updates are used to speed 
convergence. When enabled, Triggered Updates force a router to send update 
messages immediately, even if it is not yet time for the update message. The 
default value is 
disabled.  
mcast disable|enable 
Enables or disables multicast updates of the routing table (using address 
224.0.0.9). The default value is 
enabled.  
default disable|enable 
When enabled, the switch accepts RIP default routes from other routers, but 
gives them lower priority than configured default gateways. When disabled, 
the switch rejects RIP default routes. The default value is 
disabled. 
metric <1-15> 
Configures the route metric, which indicates the relative distance to the 
destination. The default value is 
1.  
auth none|password 
Configures the authentication type. The default is none.  
key 
Configures the authentication key password.  
enable
