Configuring neighbor-level parameters

After you create a group name and assign options, add neighbor interfaces within the same group. All parameters configured for the peer group level are applied to each neighbor, but a group parameter can be overridden on a specific neighbor basis.

Use the following syntax to add a neighbor to a group and define options that override the same group-level command value.

config>router# rip
    group group-name
        neighbor ip-int-name 
            authentication-key [authentication-key|hash-key [hash|hash2]
            authentication-type {password|message-digest}
            check-zero {enable|disable}
            description string
            export policy-name [policy-name …]
            import policy-name [policy-name …]
            message-size number 
            metric-in metric
            metric-out metric
            preference number
            receive {both|none|version-1|version-2}
            send {broadcast|multicast|none|version-1}
            split-horizon {enable|disable}
            timers update timeout flush
            no shutdown
