Configuring the RIP packet sending rate
Perform this task to set the interval for sending RIP packets and the maximum number of RIP packets that can be sent at each interval. This feature can avoid excessive RIP packets from affecting system performance and consuming too much bandwidth.
To configure the RIP packet sending rate:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter RIP view. | rip [ process-id ] | N/A |
3. Set the interval for sending RIP packets and the maximum number of RIP packets that can be sent at each interval. | output-delay time count count | By default, an interface sends up to three RIP packets every 20 milliseconds. |
4. Return to system view. | quit | N/A |
5. Enter interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
6. Set the interval for sending RIP packets and the maximum number of RIP packets that can be sent at each interval. | rip output-delay time count count | By default, the interface uses the RIP packet sending rate configured for the RIP process that the interface runs. |
