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

CLI syntax

config>router# rip
  group group-name
    neighbor ip-int-name
      authentication-key [authentication-key|hash-key [hash|hash2|custom]
      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

The following example displays neighbor configuration command usage.

Example

config>router# rip
config>router>rip# group headquarters1
config>router>rip>group# neighbor ferguson-274
config>router>rip>group>neighbor$ preference 255
config>router>rip>group>neighbor# send both
config>router>rip>group>neighbor# split-horizon enable
config>router>rip>group>neighbor# message-size 255

The following example displays the neighbor configured in group ‟headquarters”.

ALA-A>config>router>rip>group>neighbor# info
----------------------------------------------
                    message-size 255
                    preference 255
                    split-horizon enable
                    no timers
----------------------------------------------
