RIP version 1
• Configuration Details
-To remove the RIP
routing process use the
following command
No router rip
-To check the
configuration use the
following command
Show run
Automatic Summarization
• Boundary Routers
–RIP automatically summarizes classful networks
–Boundary routers summarize RIP subnets from one
major network to another.
Automatic Summarization
Processing RIP Updates
• 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.
Automatic Summarization
• Sending RIP Updates
–RIP uses automatic summarization to reduce the size of
a routing table.
Automatic Summarization
• Advantages of
automatic
summarization:
-The size of
routing updates is
reduced
-Single routes are
used to represent
multiple routes
which results in
faster lookup in the
Automatic Summarization
• Disadvantage of Automatic Summarization:
-Does not support discontiguous networks
Automatic Summarization
• Discontiguous
Topologies do not
converge with RIPv1
• A router will only
advertise major
network addresses out
interfaces that do not
belong to the
advertised route.
Default Route and RIPv1
• Modified Topology: Scenario C
• 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.
Summary
• RIP characteristics include:
Classful, distance vector routing protocol
Metric is Hop Count
Does not support VLSM or discontiguous
subnets
Updates every 30 seconds
• Rip messages are encapsulated in a UDP
segment with source and destination ports of
520
