Study Notes
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
- RIP is a dynamic routing protocol used in networks
- It is an old protocol, often used with legacy devices that cannot support newer protocols like OSPF
- RIP version 2 supports variable length subnet masks, allowing for advertisements of networks with different masks (e.g., /18, /19, /20)
Distance-Vector Routing Protocol
- RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol, meaning that a router only knows information from its directly connected neighbors
- A router learns about routes through advertisements from its neighbors, plus any routes learned from other neighbors
- Each router only knows what it has learned from its neighbors, not the entire network topology
RIP Advertisements
- RIP advertisements are sent using UDP (User Datagram Protocol) at layer 4
- The well-known destination port for RIP is 520
- Advertisements are sent as multicasts to the address 224.0.0.9 at layer 3
Administrative Distance
- Administrative distance is a measure of the believability or preference for a route
- It is used to determine which route to use when there are multiple sources for the same route
- A lower administrative distance indicates a more preferred route
- In Cisco systems, a static route has an administrative distance of 1, while RIP has an administrative distance of 120
Router Decision-Making
- When a router learns about a route from multiple sources, it chooses the route with the lower administrative distance
- If the administrative distances are the same, the router will choose the route with the lower metric (hop count)
Implementing RIP
- To implement RIP, a router must be configured with the
router ripcommand and specify the version and networks to advertise - RIP can be used to dynamically advertise reachability to networks without configuring static routes
RIP-learned Routes
- RIP-learned routes are indicated in the routing table with an administrative distance of 120 and a metric (hop count)
- The metric indicates the number of hops away the network is from the router
Troubleshooting RIP
- RIP updates can be captured and analyzed using tools like SecureCRT or Wireshark
- The protocols and ports used by RIP can be identified in the capture (e.g., UDP port 520, multicast address 224.0.0.9)
