Rip protocol
- 1. RIPv2 Routing Protocols and Concepts – Chapter 7 By Rajesh Kumar my Way
- 2. Objectives Encounter and describe the limitations of RIPv1’s limitations. Apply the basic Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2) configuration commands and evaluate RIPv2 classless routing updates. Analyze router output to see RIPv2 support for VLSM and CIDR. Identify RIPv2 verification commands and common RIPv2 issues. Configure, verify, and troubleshoot RIPv2 in “hands-on” labs.
- 3. Introduction Chapter focus Difference between RIPv1 & RIPv2 RIPv1 A classful distance vector routing protocol Does not support discontiguous subnets Does not support VLSM Does not send subnet mask in routing update Routing updates are broadcast RIPv2 A classless distance vector routing protocol that is an enhancement of RIPv1’s features Next hop address is included in updates Routing updates are multicast The use of authentication is an option
- 4. Introduction Similarities between RIPv1 & RIPv2 Use of timers to prevent routing loops Use of split horizon or split horizon with poison reverse Use of triggered updates Maximum hop count of 15
- 5. RIPv1 Limitations Lab Topology Scenario: 3 router set up Topology is discontiguous There exists a static summary route Static route information can be injected into routing table updates using redistribution Routers 1 & 3 contain VLSM networks
- 6. RIPv1 Limitations Scenario Continued VLSM Recall this is sub netting the subnet Private IP addresses are on LAN links Public IP addresses are used on WAN links Loopback interfaces These are virtual interfaces that can be pinged and added to routing table
- 7. RIPv1 Limitations Null Interfaces This is a virtual interface that does not need to be created or configured Traffic sent to a null interface is discarded Null interfaces do not send or receive traffic Static routes and null interfaces Null interfaces will serve as the exit interface for static route Example of configuring a static supernet route with a null interface R2(config)#ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 Null0
- 8. RIPv1 Limitations Route redistribution Redistribution command is way to disseminate a static route from one router to another via a routing protocol Example R2(config-router)#redistribute static
- 9. RIPv1 Limitations Verifying and Testing Connectivity Use the following commands: show ip interfaces brief ping traceroute
- 10. RIPv1 Limitations RIPv1 – a classful routing protocol Subnet mask are not sent in updates Summarizes networks at major network boundaries If network is discontiguous and RIPv1 configured convergence will not be reached
- 11. RIPv1 Limitations Examining the routing tables To examine the contents of routing updates use the debug ip rip command If RIPv1 is configured then Subnet masks will not be included with the network address
- 12. RIPv1 Limitations RIPv1 does not support VLSM Reason: RIPv1 does not send subnet mask in routing updates RIPv1 does summarize routes to the Classful boundary Or uses the Subnet mask of the outgoing interface to determine which subnets to advertise
- 13. RIPv1 Limitations No CIDR Support In the diagram R2 will not include the static route in its update Reason: Classful routing protocols do not support CIDR routes that are summarized with a smaller mask than the classful subnet mask
- 14. Configuring RIPv2 Comparing RIPv1 & RIPv2 Message Formats RIPv2 Message format is similar to RIPv1 but has 2 extensions 1st extension is the subnet mask field 2nd extension is the addition of next hop address
- 15. Configuring RIPv2 Enabling and Verifying RIPv2 Configuring RIP on a Cisco router By default it is running RIPv1
- 16. Configuring RIPv2 Configuring RIPv2 on a Cisco router Requires using the version 2 command RIPv2 ignores RIPv1 updates To verify RIPv2 is configured use the show ip protocols command
- 17. Configuring RIPv2 Auto-Summary & RIPv2 RIPv2 will automatically summarize routes at major network boundaries and can also summarize routes with a subnet mask that is smaller than the classful subnet mask
- 18. Disabling Auto-Summary in RIPv2 To disable automatic summarization issue the no auto-summary command Configuring RIPv2
- 19. Configuring RIPv2 Verifying RIPv2 Updates When using RIPv2 with automatic summarization turned off Each subnet and mask has its own specific entry, along with the exit interface and next-hop address to reach that subnet To verify information being sent by RIPv2 use the debug ip rip command
- 20. VLSM & CIDR RIPv2 and VLSM Networks using a VLSM IP addressing scheme Use classless routing protocols (i.e. RIPv2) to disseminate network addresses and their subnet masks
- 21. VLSM & CIDR CIDR uses Supernetting Supernetting is a bunch of contiguous classful networks that is addressed as a single network
- 22. VLSM & CIDR To verify that supernets are being sent and received use the following commands Show ip route Debug ip rip
- 23. Verifying & Troubleshooting RIPv2 Basic Troubleshooting steps Check the status of all links Check cabling Check IP address & subnet mask configuration Remove any unneeded configuration commands Commands used to verify proper operation of RIPv2 Show ip interfaces brief Show ip protocols Debug ip rip Show ip route
- 24. Verifying & Troubleshooting RIPv2 Common RIPv2 Issues When trouble shooting RIPv2 examine the following issues: Version Check to make sure you are using version 2 Network statements Network statements may be incorrectly typed or missing Automatic summarization If summarized routes are not needed then disable automatic summarization
- 25. Verifying & Troubleshooting RIPv2 Reasons why it’s good to authenticate routing information Prevent the possibility of accepting invalid routing updates Contents of routing updates are encrypted Types of routing protocols that can use authentication RIPv2 EIGRP OSPF IS-IS BGP
