Setting the RIP Diameter
The RIP diameter is a maximum hop count that RIP uses to define reachability.
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 RIP domain.
You must set this parameter so that the interface cost, static cost, or route filter
cost parameters do not exceed the RIP diameter.
The default RIP diameter value is 15 hops (maximum). Nortel Networks
recommends that you accept the default value. However, you can use the BCC or
Site Manager to specify a different RIP diameter value.
Using the BCC
To change the RIP diameter value, go to the global RIP prompt (for example,
box;
ip; rip
) and enter:
rip-diameter
<max_hops>
max_hops
is the hop count for maximum reachability.
Using Site Manager
To change the RIP diameter value, complete the following tasks:
