How can I get routed to advertise static routes? The manpage for routed(8) says: "Static routes in the kernel table are preserved and included in RIP responses if they have a valid RIP metric (see route(8))." The route(8) manpage does not, however, explain what a "valid RIP metric" is. I've tried adding a static route with a -hopcount 1 modifier, and "route get" confirms that the route is added to the routing table with the hop count intact. However, routed still isn't advertising the route to its RIP neighbors. What next?
