Disabling an Interface from Sending RIP Update Packets

Procedure

• Disable an interface from sending RIP Update packets in a RIP process (with a high priority).
  1. Access the system view.

     system-view

  2. Configure a RIP process and access the RIP process view.

     rip [ process-id ]

  3. Disable an interface from sending RIP Update packets.

     You can configure an interface as a silent interface so that it only receives RIP Update packets to update its routing table.

     

     You can run the silent-interface all command to disable all RIP interfaces from sending RIP Update packets.

     The silent-interface command takes precedence over the rip output command configured in the interface view. By default, an interface can both send and receive RIP Update packets.

• Disable an interface from sending RIP Update packets in the interface view (with a low priority).
  1. Access the system view.

     system-view

  2. Access an interface view.

     interface interface-type interface-number

  3. Disable an interface from sending RIP Update packets.

     undo rip output

     By running this command, you can specify whether to send RIP Update packets on an interface. The silent-interface command takes precedence over the undo rip output command. By default, an interface is allowed to send RIP Update packets.
