The rip pkt-transmit command sets the interval for sending Update packets and the number of packets sent each time on the specified interface.
The undo rip pkt-transmit command restores the default values on an interface.
By default, the interval for sending RIP Update packets is 200 ms and 50 packets are sent each time.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| interval interval | Specifies the interval for sending Update packets. | The value is an integer ranging from 50 to 500, in milliseconds. The default value is 200. |
| number pkt-count | Specifies the number of packets sent each time. | The value is an integer and ranges from 25 to 100. The default value is 50. |
The rip pkt-transmit command can be used on an interface to control the interval for sending Update packets and the number of sent packets. This improves RIP performance.
