RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
RIP, or Routing Information Protocol, is a routing protocol located within IP. There are two versions of RIP supported by Cisco. RIP version 1 and an enhanced version RIPv2, a classless routing protocol.
Characteristics of RIP
•It is a distance vector routing protocol.
•Hop count is used as the metric for path selection.
•The maximum allowable hop count is 15.
•Routing updates are broadcast every 30 seconds by default.
•RIP is capable of load balancing over up to six equal cost paths (4 paths is the default).
•RIPv1 requires that for each major classful network number being advertised, only one network mask is used per network number. The mask is a fixed length subnet mask.
•RIPv2 permits variable-length subnet masks on the internetwork. (RIPv1 does not do triggered updates but RIPv2 does do triggered updates.)
Procedure for Configuring RIP
1.Select RIP as the routing protocol using the router rip global configuration command.
Router(config)#router rip
2. Assign a major network number to which the router is directly connected using the network network-number router configuration command.
Router(config-router)#network 10.2.2.0
3.Display network information associated with the entire router using the show ip protocol privileged command.
Router#show ip protocols
4. Display RIP routing updates as they are sent and received using the debug ip rip privileged command.
Router#debug ip rip
