rip default-route

Use rip default-route to configure a RIP interface to advertise a default route with a specified metric.

Use undo rip default-route to disable a RIP interface from sending a default route.

Syntax

rip default-route { { only | originate } [ cost cost-value | route-policy route-policy-name ] * | no-originate }

undo rip default-route

Default

A RIP interface advertises a default route if the RIP process that the interface runs is enabled to advertise a default route.

Views

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

only: Advertises only a default route.

originate: Advertises both a default route and other routes.

cost-value: Specifies a cost for the default route, in the range of 1 to 15. The default is 1.

route-policy route-policy-name: Specifies a routing policy by its name, a case sensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. If you specify this option, the command advertises a default route only when a route in the routing table matches the routing policy.

no-originate: Advertises only non-default routes.

Usage guidelines

An interface that is enabled to advertise a default route does not receive any default route from RIP neighbors.

Examples

# Configure VLAN-interface 10 to advertise only a default route with a metric of 2.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 10
[Sysname-Vlan-interface10] rip default-route only cost 2

# Configure VLAN-interface 10 to advertise a default route with a metric of 2 and other routes.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 10
[Sysname-Vlan-interface10] rip default-route originate cost 2
