Customizing RIP Global Parameters
When you add RIP to an IP interface, RIP is enabled on the router with default
values for all global parameters. You customize the way RIP operates on the
router by modifying RIP global parameters as described in the following sections.
Using the BCC
Navigate to the IP global prompt and enter:
rip
The RIP global prompt appears.
Setting the RIP Diameter
The RIP diameter is a hop count that RIP uses to denote infinity. For RIP to
operate properly, every router within the network must be configured with an
identical RIP diameter value. If RIP is enabled, this parameter specifies the
maximum number of hops within the autonomous system; if RIP is not enabled,
IP still uses the RIP diameter to determine network width.
You must set this parameter so that the interface cost, static cost, or route filter
cost parameters do not exceed the RIP diameter. We recommend that you accept
the default RIP diameter value.
The default RIP diameter value is 15 hops. You can use the BCC or Site Manager
to specify a different RIP diameter value.
