Usage guidelines

You can specify a routing policy by using the keyword route-policy to set a preference for matching RIP routes.

• The preference set by the routing policy applies to all matching RIP routes. The preference of other routes is set by the preference command.

• If no preference is set by the routing policy, the preference of all RIP routes is set by the preference command.
