SEND_ONLY statement

The SEND_ONLY statement can be coded stand-alone in the OMPROUTE configuration file to apply to all RIP interfaces.

Syntax

Parameters

(values)

Specifies broadcast restrictions. Multiple values can be coded by separating the values with commas, unless ALL is coded. The valid values are:

ALL: Specifies no broadcast restrictions.
VIRTUAL: Broadcasts virtual IP addresses.
DEFAULT: Broadcasts the default route.
DIRECT: Broadcasts direct routes.
TRIGGERED: Only broadcast routes when requested or when a route becomes inactive (metric 16).

VIRTUAL, DEFAULT, and DIRECT are OR'd together to determine what should be broadcast. Thus, coding SEND_ONLY=(VIRTUAL, DEFAULT) broadcasts virtual IP addresses and the default route. When ALL is coded, it must not be enclosed within parentheses. When any of the other possible values are coded, they must be enclosed within parentheses.

When specified on the SEND_ONLY statement in the OMPROUTE configuration file, it applies to all RIP_Interfaces. The SEND_ONLY parameter can also be coded on the RIP_INTERFACE statement. When specified on the RIP_INTERFACE statement, the SEND_ONLY parameter applies only to the corresponding RIP_Interface.
