    Features of Rip Routing Protocol: Ripv1 Vs Ripv2 Differences

    RIP protocol is an open standard, distance-vector Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) typically used in small networks. It supports a maximum of 15 hops and uses hop counts as its metric. RIP sends entire routing tables every 30 seconds and when networks change. Version 1 (RIPv1) is the original, while Version 2 (RIPv2) provides more functionality such as classless routing. RIPv2 should be used for discontinuous networks.

    RIP protocol is an open standard, distance-vector, Interior Gateway Routing (IGP) routing protocol.

    Since it is an IGP protocol, it can only be used to perform routing between networks within the
    same autonomous system. Typically, it is suitable for a small-sized network.

    Features of RIP Routing Protocol


    Some of the of key features of RIP protocol are:

    It supports maximum 15 hops in a path.

    It uses hops count metric to calculate the best path from a source to a destination network.

    It sends routing updates (entire routing table) after every 30 seconds and when the network
    changes.

    It uses UDP broadcast packets to exchange routing information.

    The Administrative Distance (AD) value of the RIP protocol is 120.

    It has two versions: RIPv1 and RIPv2.

    RIPv1 vs RIPv2 Differences


    There are two versions of RIP protocols: RIP version 1 (RIPv1) and RIP version 2 (RIPv2). The
    basic features, such as hops count and metric, of both the RIPv1 and RIPv2 protocols remain
    same. However, RIPv2 is an enhanced version of RIPv1. RIPv2 provides more functionalities than
    RIPv1. The following table lists the key differences between RIPv1 and RIPv2.

    Routing Loops
    If you want to configure RIP protocol on your network, you have to be familiar with the
    routing loops. Sometimes routing loops create a big issue on an RIP-based network. However, RIP
    protocol has some mechanisms that can be used to prevent the routing loops and maintain the
    network stability. These mechanisms are:

    Split horizon: In the split horizon, route information is not sent back out through the interface
    from which it was received. Thus, allowing to prevent routing loops.

    Hop-count limit: Limiting the hop-count prevents routing loops from continuing indefinitely.

    Poison reverse: In this mechanism, a router marks a route (that is not accessible) as
    unreachable and set the hop count to 16. The router then passes this route out to the neighbor
    router, and the neighbor router removes the unreachable route from its routing table.
    Hold-down timers: When the hold-down timers are set, routers ignore the routing update
    information for the set period of time.

    RIP Timers
    Routing protocols use timers to optimize the network performance. The following table lists the
    various types of timers used by the RIP protocol to optimize the network performance.

    RIP Configuration
    To demonstrate how to configure RIP in Cisco Packet Tracer, we will use the following network
    topology. If you are using a simulator, such as Cisco Packet Tracer or GNS3, create the following
    topology and configure the IP addresses as mentioned in the topology.

    If you are using a simulator, such as Cisco Packet Tracer or GNS3, create the preceding topology
    and configure the devices as per the values mentioned in the following table.
    First of all, configure the IP addresses on each device. We assume that you know how to
    configure IP addresses. If you stuck in configuring IP addresses, click here to know how to
    configure IP address or you can refer the following example.

    For example, to configure TCP/IP addresses on Router1, execute the following commands:

    Router1(config)#interface fa0/1

    Router1(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

    Router(config-if)#no shut

    Router1(config-if)#exit

    Router1(config)#interface S1/0

    Router1(config-if)#ip add 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

    Router1(config-if)#clock rate 64000

    Router(config-if)#no shut

    The following figure shows the IP configuration of Router1.


    Steps to Configure RIP Routing
    Once you have configured the appropriate IP addresses on each device, perform the following
    steps to configure RIP routing. The default version of RIP is RIPv1. In the later section, we will also
    configure RIPv2 routing.

    1. On Router1, execute the following commands to configure RIP routing.

    Router1(config)#router rip

    Router1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0

    Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0

    Router1(config-router)#exit

    2. On Router2, execute the following commands to configure RIP routing.

    Router2(config)#router rip

    Router2(config-router)#network 20.0.0.0

    Router2(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0

    Router2(config-router)#network 150.150.150.0

    Router2(config-router)#exit

    Router2(config)#

    3. On Router3, execute the following commands to configure RIP routing.

    4. Router3(config)#router rip

    5. Router3(config-router)#network 150.150.150.0
    Router3(config-if)#exit

    3. Once you have configured RIP routing protocol on each router, wait for a few seconds (let
    complete the convergence process), and then execute the show ip route command on any router
    to show the routing information.

    Router(config)#do show ip route

    3. In the following figure, you can see the routes learned by the RIP protocol on Router3.

    Verifying RIP Configuration


    To verify and test the RIP configuration, perform the following steps:

    1. To verify which routing protocol is configured, use the show ip protocols command.

    Router#show ip protocols

    2. To view the RIP messages being sent and received, use the debug ip rip command.

    Router#debug ip rip

    3. To stop the debugging process, use the undebug all command.

    Router#undebug all

    Configure RIP Version 2 (RIPv2)


    The configuration process of the RIPv2 protocol is similar to configuring RIPv1 protocol. To
    configure the RIPv2 routing protocol, you just need to type version 2 command before executing
    the network command. To configure the RIPv2 protocol, perform the following tasks on each
    router.

    1. On Router1, execute the following commands:


    2. Router1(config)#router rip

    Router1(config-router)#version 2

    3. On Router2, execute the following commands:

    4. Router2(config)#router rip

    Router2(config-router)#version 2

    5. On Router3, execute the following commands:

    6. Router3(config)#router rip

    Router3(config-router)#version 2

    7. Once you have executed the preceding commands, execute the following command on each
    router, and verify the configuration as shown in the following figure.

    Router#show ip protocols

    Question: Which version of Routing Information Protocol should you use for a discontinuous
    network?

    Removing RIP Routing Configuration


    If you have added a wrong network or route, you can remove that network from the routing table.
    In this section, we will learn how to remove the routes learned by the RIP protocol. To do this,
    perform the following tasks.

    On Router1, execute the following commands.

    Router1(config)#router rip

    Router1(config-router)#no network 10.0.0.0

    Router1(config-router)#no network 192.168.1.0


    Router1(config-router)#exit

    On Router2, execute the following commands.

    Router2(config)#router rip

    Router2(config-router)#no network 20.0.0.0

    Router2(config-router)#no network 192.168.1.0

    Router2(config-router)#no network 150.150.150.0

    Router2(config-router)#exit

    On Router3, execute the following commands.

    Router3(config)#router rip

    Router3(config-router)#no network 150.150.150.0

    Router3(config-router)#exit

    Now, execute the show ip route command and verify that the routes learned by the RIP routing
    protocol are deleted. If the routes are still available in the routing table, execute the clear ip route
    * command.
