Description

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or variables.

Default

Disabled.

Usage Guidelines

The enable (disable) rip aggregation command enables (disables) the RIP aggregation of subnet information on an interface configured to send RIPv1 or RIPv2-compatible traffic. The switch summarizes subnet routes to the nearest class network route. The following rules apply when using RIP aggregation:

Subnet routes are aggregated to the nearest class network route when crossing a class boundary.
Within a class boundary, no routes are aggregated.
If aggregation is enabled, the behavior is the same as in RIPv1.
If aggregation is disabled, subnet routes are never aggregated, even when crossing a class boundary.

Example

The following command enables RIP aggregation on the interface:

# enable rip aggregation
