IP Routing Features 
Configuring RIP 
Syntax:  restrict < ip-addr > < ip-mask > | < ip-addr /< prefix length > 
This command prevents any routes with a destination address that is included 
in the range specified by the address/mask pair from being redistributed by 
RIP. 
Modify Default Metric for Redistribution 
The default metric is a global parameter that specifies the cost applied to all 
RIP routes by default. The default value is 1. You can assign a cost from 1 – 15. 
Example:  To assign a default metric of 4 to all routes imported into RIP, enter 
the following commands: 
HPswitch(config)# router rip 
HPswitch(rip)# default-metric 4 
Syntax:  default-metric < value > 
The < value > can be from 1 – 15. The default is 1. 
Enable RIP Route Redistribution 
Note  Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution 
filters. Otherwise, the network might get overloaded with routes that you did 
not intend to redistribute. 
To enable redistribution of connected and static IP routes into RIP, enter the 
following commands. 
0(config)# router rip 
HPswitch(rip)# redistribute connected 
HPswitch(rip)# redistribute static 
HPswitch(rip)# write memory 
Syntax:  [no] redistribute connected | static
