Routing Information Protocol

122

 Document 

ID: 

RDWR-ALOS-V2900_AG1302

When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing 
table to reflect the new route. The metric value for the path is increased by 1, and the sender is 
indicated as the next hop. RIP routers maintain only the best route (the route with the lowest metric 
value) to a destination.
For details on configuring routing updates, see the explanation of the Configuration menu, Routing 
Information Protocol Configuration (

/cfg/l3/rip

 command) in the Alteon Application Switch 

Operating System Command Reference.

RIP Versions

This section includes the following sub-sections:

•

RIP Version 1, page 122

•

RIP Version 2, page 122

•

RIP Version 2 in RIP Version 1 Compatibility Mode, page 122

RIP Version 1

RIP version 1 (RIPv1) uses broadcast User Datagram Protocol (UDP) data packets for the regular 
routing updates. The main disadvantage is that the routing updates do not carry subnet mask 
information. Therefore, the router cannot determine whether the route is a subnet route or a host 
route. It is of limited use after the introduction of RIPv2.
For more information about RIPv1 and RIPv2, refer to RFC 1058 and RFC 2453.

RIP Version 2

RIP version 2 (RIPv2) is the most popular and preferred configuration for most networks. RIPv2 
expands the amount of useful information carried in RIP messages and provides a measure of 
security. 
RIPv2 improves efficiency by using multicast UDP (address 224.0.0.9) data packets for regular 
routing updates. Subnet mask information is provided in the routing updates. A security option is 
added for authenticating routing updates by using a shared password. Alteon supports using clear 
text passwords for RIPv2.
RIPv2 supports the following enhancements to RIPv1:

•

Variable length subnet masks for classless inter-domain routing.

•

RIPv2 updates always include the next-hop router address.

•

Routing updates can be sent to a multicast address.

•

Routing updates can be authenticated using a simple password scheme.

For a detailed explanation of RIPv2, refer to RFC 1723 and RFC 2453.

RIP Version 2 in RIP Version 1 Compatibility Mode

Alteon allows for RIP version 2 (RIPv2) configuration and RIP version 1 (RIPv1) compatibility mode 
to use both RIPv2 and RIPv1 routers within a network. In this mode, the regular routing updates use 
broadcast UDP data packets to allow RIPv1 routers to receive those packets. With RIPv1 routers as 
recipients, the routing updates have to carry a natural or host mask. Therefore, it is not a 
recommended configuration for most network topologies.

Note:

When using both RIPv1 and RIPv2 within a network, use a single subnet mask throughout 

the network.
