RIP uses a single routing metric (hop count) to measure the distance between the source and a destination network. Each hop in a path from source to destination is assigned a hop count value, which is typically 1. This value is between 1 and 15 for a valid route, or 16 for an unreachable route.


To use hop count to manipulate route selection, try to use offset-list:
