ip rip policy detail

For CoreBuilder 9000: Applies to Layer 3 switching modules only.

Displays detailed information about RIP routing policies.

Valid Minimum Abbreviation

ip ri pol det

Important Considerations

■

This display contains the summary information and two additional
fields: Interface and Metric.

■

Route policies are classified as follows:

■

Import policies

import routing information from what RIP learns

from a router/neighbor to the unified routing table. (You can also
import routing information from Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).)

■

Export policies

send information from the routing table to RIP and

RIP routers, which controls what is going out on the wire to the RIP
domain. (You can also export from the routing table to OSPF.)

Fields in the IP RIP Policy Detail Display
