Setting the Interval for Sending Update Packets and Maximum Number of Sent Packets
Context
To limit memory resources occupied by RIP Update packets, set the interval for sending RIP Update packets and the maximum number of Update packets to be sent at a time to appropriate values.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
- On an Ethernet interface, run undo portswitch
The interface is switched to Layer 3 mode.
By default, an Ethernet interface works in Layer 2 mode.
The mode switching function takes effect when the interface only has attribute configurations (for example, shutdown and description configurations). Alternatively, if configuration information supported by both Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces exists (for example, mode lacp and lacp system-id configurations), no configuration that is not supported after the working mode of the interface is switched can exist. If unsupported configurations exist on the interface, delete the configurations first and then run the undo portswitch command.
If many Ethernet interfaces need to be switched to Layer 3 mode, run the undo portswitch batch interface-type { interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] } &<1-10> command in the system view to switch these interfaces to Layer 3 mode in batches.
- Run rip pkt-transmit { interval interval | number pkt-count | bandwidth bandwidth-value } *
The interval for sending RIP Update packets and the maximum number of Update packets to be sent at a time are set.
- Run commit
The configuration is committed.
