3.2.12  Configuring Default Cost for the Imported Route  
When using the import-route command to import the routes of other protocols, you 
can specify the cost of them. If you do not specify the cost of the imported route, RIP will 
set it to the default cost, specified by the default cost parameter. 
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.

3.2.13  Setting the RIP Preference 
Each kind of routing protocol has its own preference, by which the routing policy will 
select the optimal one from the routes of different protocols. The greater the preference 
value is, the lower the preference becomes. The preference of RIP can be set 
manually. 
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.
