    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 rip command 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)
