Configuring IP, ARP, RIP, and OSPF Services
A-22
117356-E Rev 00
Parameter: RIP Diameter
Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > IP > Global
Default: 15
Options: 1 to 127
Function: Specifies the value, or hop count, that the Routing Information Protocol
(RIP) uses to denote infinity. In order for RIP to operate properly, every
router within the network must be configured with an identical RIP diameter
value. If RIP is not enabled, this parameter specifies the maximum number
of hops within the autonomous system; if RIP is not enabled, the IP router
still must understand network width.
Instructions: You must set this parameter so that none of the interface cost, static cost, or
route filter cost parameters exceed the RIP diameter. Bay Networks
recommends that you accept the default RIP diameter value of 15.

Parameter: Zero Subnet Enable
Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > IP > Global
Default: Disable
Options: Enable
|
Disable
Function: Specifies whether an interface address whose subnet portion is all zeros or all
ones should be declared legal or not. If you set this parameter to Enable, then
you can configure IP interfaces with a subnet ID of zero. Setting this parameter
to Disable prevents you from doing so.
Instructions: Accept the default, Disable, if you do not have any interfaces that have a zero
subnet ID. Otherwise, reset this parameter to Enable. The use of all-zero subnet
addresses is discouraged for the following reason: if an all-zero subnet address
and an all-zero broadcast address are both valid, the router cannot distinguish
an all-subnets broadcast from a directed broadcast for the zero subnet.
