Passive rip and sticky forwarding

[pavlosd]

1) How do I enable rip only for receiving, not broadcasting any routes? Similar to PIX firewall command :

rip inside passive version 2

2) Is there a way to load balance a connection only if a primary host dies? To be more specific, I want all the connections to be forwarded to one specific host only and only if this host is unavailable then forward connections to a secondary server (i.e. sticky). Moreover as soon as primary comes up, forward new connections to primary.

1/ there is no such thing with the CSS

2/ use a regular service for your primary server and use a 'primarysorryserver' for the backup server.

The primarysorryserver is only being used if there is n other service alive.

Gilles.

To enable rip, go to Circuit VLAN configuration mode:

Curcuit VLANX, where X is a Vlan Number,

Enter the ip address of the VLAN to go futher down to ip address curcuit configuration mode

ip address A.B.C.D X.Y.Z.W

enable rip by using "rip"

disable sendind rip by using "rip send none"
