Hi Erick,

Thanks for that. But taking out the network command (for the link between
RTC & RTD) and use the "redistributed connected" under the RIP process at
RTC, RTC will no longer be able to see the 2 networks advertised by RTD
(156.26.32.0/24 & 156.26.33.0/24).

Regards,
H.

Hunt,

The passive interface toward RTB will stop RIP
broadcasts from being sent, which is one less thing
the CPU has to do so it helps a little bit. You could
also take that network out from the RIP process and
redistribute connected into RIP to stop the
advertisements out s0. Use a route-map just to get the
networks you want.
