RIP v1– Routing Information Protocol RIP Versions –RIP v1 (original version, Doyle ch 5) –RIP v2 (improved version, Doyle ch 7) Simple distance-vector protocol (aka Bellman- Ford algorithm) Use hop count metric to determine best path (does not take other factors into account such as link speed) Initially popular because “routed” implementation bundled with BSD UNIX Original IP version adapted for other network protocols such as Novell IPX

RIP – Message Format Two Message Types –Request (sent by devices after initialization to request a unicast copy of a neighbor’s routing table –Response (sent by RIP speaking devices by broadcasting every 30 seconds to IP ) Send via UDP/520 up to 25 routes per packet that include IP network, metric, but no subnet mask

RIP – Normal Operation For every active RIP interface –Announce known RIP routes out RIP enabled interfaces every 30s –Process received RIP annoucements by placing routes in routing table if better than existing route and add 1 to the hop count –Do not announce things learned on an interface out the same interface (split horizon) –Only announce if reachable with hop count <- 15

RIP Timers (Cisco Imp.) Router rip timers basic update invalid holddown flush Update 30s (when to broadcast response) Invalid 180s (when haven’t heard annoucements for 180s, do not use) Holddown 180s (when neighbor increases metric for a network, do not accept immediately Flush 240s (after invalid timer expires, mark as unreachable metric 16 until time to flush)

Cisco Administrative Distance Routers can run multiple routing protocols simultaneously Q: What to do when you have more than one route for a network learned with different routing protocols? A: Believe route with smallest administative distance For example, RIP uses admin distance 120, static uses 1, so static routes are more “believable”

RIP v2 improvements Will cover these later in Doyle ch 7 Annoucements carry subnet masks therefore supporting classful routing Subnets of classful nets do not need to all be the same size, but can be variable length (VLSM) Supports IP multicast on Supports MD5 authentication

SNMP tools to troubleshoot RIP Assuming you are on a LINUX computer with “snmpwalk” and “snmpnetstat” tools and your router has a Read-Only community configured named “public” ( snmp-server community public RO ) Linux% snmpnetstat –r public Linux% snmpwalk –v 1 –c public

More tools to debug RIP Use a sniffer like program such as Ethereal to “sniff” the UDP/520 RIP packets on an ethernet segment with RIP speakers Can also use older tools like TCPDUMP but newer tools like Ethereal have better decoding

Lab2 Notes We will start a new lab next week with a new topology, subnetting, and more complex RIP configuration Will leave topology unchanged for now at least until first assignment due this Friday 1/21/05 7pm ET
