Configuring an additional metric for a RIP interface

Network requirements

In the following figure, RIP is enabled on all the interfaces of Switch A, Switch B, Switch C, Switch D, and

Switch E. The switches are interconnected through RIPv2.

Switch A has two links to Switch D. The link from Switch B to Switch D is more stable than that from Switch

C to Switch D. Configure an additional metric for RIP routes received through VLAN-interface 200 on

Switch A so that Switch A prefers the 1.1.5.0/24 network learned from Switch B.
