Summary
MikroTik RouterOS implements RIP Version 1 (RFC 1058) and Version 2 (RFC 2453). RIP enables routers in an autonomous system to exchange routing information. It always uses the best path (the path with the fewest number of hops (i.e. routers)) available.
General

| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| distribute-default (always | if-installed | never; Default: never) | specifies how to distribute default route. |
| redistribute-static (yes | no; Default: no) | if enabled, redistribute static routes to neighbor routers |
| redistribute-connected (yes | no; Default: no) | if enabled, redistribute connected routes to neighbor routers |
| redistribute-ospf (yes | no; Default: no) | if enabled, redistribute OSPF routes to neighbor routers |
| redistribute-bgp (yes | no; Default: no) | if enabled, redistribute BGP routes to neighbor routers |
| metric-default (integer; Default: 1) | specifies metric for default route |
| metric-static (integer; Default: 1) | specifies metric for static routes |
| metric-connected (integer; Default: 1) | specifies metric for connected routes |
| metric-ospf (integer; Default: 1) | specifies metric (the number of hops) for the routes learned via OSPF protocol |
| metric-bgp (integer; Default: 1) | specifies metric (the number of hops) for the routes learned via BGP protocol |
| update-timer (time; Default: 30s) | specifies frequency of RIP updates |
| timeout-timer (time; Default: 3m) | specifies time interval after which the route is considered invalid |
| garbage-timer (time; Default: 2m) | specifies time interval after which the invalid route will be dropped from neighbor router table |
