Routing Information Protocol
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a protocol that switches and routers can use to
exchange network topology information. RIP is characterized as an interior gateway
protocol, and is typically used in small to medium-sized networks. A device that runs
RIP sends the contents of its routing table to each of its adjacent devices. When a route
is removed from the routing table, it is flagged as unusable by the other devices and,
after a certain period, removed from their routing.
Two versions of RIP exist:
• RIPv1 (defined in RFC 1058):
- Routes are specified by IP destination network and hop count.
- The routing table is broadcast to all devices on the attached network.
RIPv2 (defined in RFC 1723):
- The route specification also includes the subnet mask and gateway.
- The routing table is sent to a multicast address, reducing network traffic.
- Authentication is used for security.
You can configure an interface to do the following:
• Receive packets in either or both formats.
• Send packets formatted for RIPv1 or RIPv2, or send RIPv2 packets to the RIPv1
broadcast address.
• Prevent any RIP packets from being received.
