Lab 12 - Dynamic Routing Protocol -


Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
Objective:

●​ What is Dynamic Routing Protocol Protocol?


●​ What is Routing Information Protocol (RIP)?
●​ How to configure the Routing Information Protocol (RIP)?

1. Introduction - What is Dynamic Routing Protocol


Routing protocols are used to enable the routers exchange routing information, they
allow routers to learn about remotely connected networks dynamically. This information
is then added to their routing tables as a basis for forwarding packets.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol


(EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) are examples of Dynamic Routing
Protocols.

In this lab, students will learn Routing Information Protocol (RIP) only.

2. What is Routing Information Protocol (RIP)


RIP falls under the Distance Vector Routing protocol of Interior Gateway Protocols.
There are two versions for IPv4 for RIP i.e. RIPv1 and RIPv2. RIPv1 is for classful ipv4,
whereas RIPv2 is for classless ipv4. For IPv6, RIPng is used. However, this lab only
covers RIPv1 and RIPv2.

RIPv1 supports the following IP classes.

●​ Class A (1.0.0.0 – 126.255.255.255) → Supports very large networks.


●​ Class B (128.0.0.0 – 191.255.255.255) → Supports medium-sized networks.
●​ Class C (192.0.0.0 – 223.255.255.255) → Supports small networks.

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 1 uses broadcast UDPdata packets, and RIPv2
uses multicast packets to exchange routing information. Cisco software sends routing
information updates every 30 seconds, which is termed advertising. If a device does not receive
an update from another device for 180 Routing Information Protocol 1 seconds or more, the
receiving device marks the routes served by the non updating device as unusable. If there is still
no update after 240 seconds, the device removes all routing table entries for the non updating
device.

A device that is running RIP can receive a default network via an update from another device
that is running RIP, or the device can source the default network using RIP. In both cases, the
default network is advertised through RIP to other RIP neighbors. The Cisco implementation of
RIP Version 2 (RIPv2) supports plain text and message digest algorithm 5 (MD5) authentication,
route summarization, classless interdomain routing (CIDR), and variable-length subnet masks
(VLSMs).
