rip pkt-transmit

Function

The rip pkt-transmit command sets the interval for sending Update packets and the number of packets sent each time on the specified interface.

The undo rip pkt-transmit command restores the default values on an interface.

By default, the interval for RIP sending packets is 200 milliseconds and the number of RIP packets sent each time is 50.

Format

rip pkt-transmit { interval interval | number pkt-count } ^*

undo rip pkt-transmit

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
interval interval	Specifies the interval for sending packets.	The value is an integer ranging from 50 to 500, in milliseconds. By default, it is 200 milliseconds.
number pkt-count	Specifies the number of packets sent each time.	The value is an integer ranging from 25 to 100. By default, it is 50.

Usage Guidelines

Running the rip pkt-transmit command in the interface view as required can accurately control the interval for sending packets and the number of sent packets. RIP performance is therefore improved.

Example

# On GigabitEthernet 0/0/1, set the interval for sending packets to 100 milliseconds and the number of packets sent each time to 50.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
[sysname-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] rip pkt-transmit interval 100 number 50
