I have a p4200 with version 8.0 software and two ethernet 
connection.  The configuration info in question is ....

-------------------------------------
IP config>list prot
ARP Subnet routing: disabled
RIP: enabled
  Originate default off
  Per-interface address flags:
     intf  0   128.116.64.1     Send net routes
     intf  1   128.117.64.1     Send no routes
                                Received RIP packets are ignored.
EGP: disabled
Routing information interchange: off
Advertised EGP metric:  0
-------------------------------------

All I want is to advertise with RIP on one side the nets connected
on the other side.  That is, send a RIP packet out to 128.116
with network 128.117 at 1 hop.

Instead, with this RIP configuration I get 3 packets full of routes
being sent that include a hop count of 16 for all routes except
for 128.117 which has hop count of 1.

This has the effect that I want, but is a rather poor way of doing it
I would say.  All known routes seem to be put in all RIP packets!

Is there a way to get rid of this unneccessary burden in the RIP
broadcasts?
