RIP Version 1
Objectives : Objectives Describe the functions, characteristics, and operation of the RIPv1
protocol. Configure a device for using RIPv1. Verify proper RIPv1 operation. Describe how
RIPv1 performs automatic summarization. Configure, verify, and troubleshoot default routes
propagated in a routed network implementing RIPv1. Use recommended techniques to solve
problems related to RIPv1
RIPv1 : RIPv1 RIP Characteristics A classful, Distance Vector (DV) routing protocol Metric
= hop count Routes with a hop count > 15 are unreachable Updates are broadcast every 30
seconds Full routing table sent with every update
RIPv1 RIP Message Format : RIPv1 RIP Message Format RIP header - divided into 3
fields -Command field -Version field -Must be zero Route Entry - composed of 3 fields
-Address family identifier -IP address -Metric
RIP Operation : RIP Operation RIP uses 2 message types: Request message -This is sent out
on startup by each RIP enabled interface -Requests all RIP enabled neighbors to send routing
table Response message -Message sent to requesting router containing routing table Rip
messages are encapsulated in a UDP segment with source and destination ports of 520
Classful Routing : Classful Routing IP addresses initially divided into classes -Class A
-Class B -Class C RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol -Does not send subnet masks in routing
updates
Basic RIPv1 Configuration : Basic RIPv1 Configuration Router RIP Command To enable
RIP enter: -Router rip at the global configuration prompt -Prompt will look like R1(config-
router)#
Specifying Networks Using RIP : Specifying Networks Using RIP Use the network
command to: Enable RIP on all interfaces that belong to this network Advertise this network
in RIP updates sent to other routers every 30 seconds Note: interface will not broadcast
updates unless associated network is advertised
Will RIP Work with Subnetting? : Will RIP Work with Subnetting? Answer: Maybe!! 2
rules govern RIPv1 updates: -If a routing update and the interface it’s received on belong to
the same network then The subnet mask of the interface is applied to the network in the
routing update -If a routing update and the interface it’s received on belong to a different
network then The classful subnet mask of the network is applied to the network in the routing
update.
Default Route and RIPv1 : Default Route and RIPv1 Default routes Packets that are not
defined specifically in a routing table will go to the specified interface for the default route
Example: Customer routers use default routes to connect to an ISP router. Command used to
configure a default route is ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/1
Default Route and RIPv1 : Default Route and RIPv1 Propagating the Default Route in
RIPv1 Default-information originate command -This command is used to specify that the
router is to originate default information, by propagating the static default route in RIP
update.
