Default-Metric

Scenario to verify RIP default-metric configuration. This test validates that the default-metric command sets the metric value for redistributed routes. DUT0 configures default-metric 10 and redistributes a static blackhole route. DUT1 learns this route with metric 11.

Test RIP Default Metric

Description

Test RIP default-metric configuration where DUT0 redistributes a static blackhole route 10.20.20.0/24 with default-metric 10 and DUT1 learns this route with metric value 11.

Scenario

Warning

This command does not affect connected routes even if redistributed by redistribute connected. To modify connected route’s metric value, please use redistribute connected metric or route-map.

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces dummy dum0 address 10.10.10.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.1.1.100/24
set protocols rip default-metric 10
set protocols rip network 10.1.1.0/24
set protocols rip redistribute static
set protocols rip timers update 5
set protocols static route 10.20.20.0/24 blackhole
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.1.1.50/24
set protocols rip network 10.1.1.0/24
set protocols rip timers update 5
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Attention

Verify that DUT1 learns route 10.20.20.0/24 with metric 11

Step 3: Run command protocols rip show at DUT1 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

10.20.20.0/24\s+10.1.1.100\s+11\s+10.1.1.100
