RIP V1 characteristics
• RIP is a distance vector routing protocol.
• RIP uses hop count as its only metric for
path selection.
• Advertised routes with hop counts greater
than 15 are unreachable.
• Messages are broadcast every 30 seconds.
RIP Message Format (1/2)
• RIP Header
• The Command field specifies the message
type – request/reply
• The Version field is set to 1 for RIP version
1.
• The "Must be zero" fields provide room for
future expansion of the protocol.
RIP Message Format (2/2)
• Route Entry
• The route entry portion of the message includes three
•
•
•
•
•
fields with content:
Address family identifier (set to 2 for IP unless a router is
requesting a full routing table, in which case the field is
set to zero),
IP address, and Metric.
This route entry portion represents one destination route
with its associated metric.
One RIP update can contain up to 25 route entries.
The maximum datagram size is 504 bytes, not including
the IP or UDP headers.
RIP Operation (1/4)
• RIP uses two message types specified in
the Command field: Request message and
Response message.
• Each RIP-configured interface sends out a
request message on startup, requesting
that all RIP neighbors send their complete
routing tables.
• A response message is sent back by RIPenabled neighbors.
RIP Operation (2/4)
RIP Operation (3/4)
RIP Operation (4/4)
• When the requesting router receives the
•
•
•
responses, it evaluates each route entry.
If a route entry is new, the receiving router
installs the route in the routing table.
If the route is already in the table, the existing
entry is replaced if the new entry has a better hop
count.
The startup router then sends a triggered update
out all RIP-enabled interfaces containing its own
routing table so that RIP neighbors can be
informed of any new routes.
IP Address Classes and Classful
Routing
• IP addresses assigned to hosts were initially
•
•
•
•
divided into 3 classes: class A, class B, and class
C.
RIP is a classful routing protocol.
RIPv1 does not send subnet mask information in
the update.
Therefore, a router either uses the subnet mask
configured on a local interface, or applies the
default subnet mask based on the address class.
Due to this limitation, RIPv1 networks cannot be
discontiguous nor can they implement VLSM.

RIP Topology: Scenario A
Passive Interface (1/2)
• R2 is sending updates out FastEthernet0/0 even
•
though no RIP device exists on that LAN.
Impact on Sending out unneeded updates on a
LAN:
– Bandwidth is wasted transporting unnecessary updates.
Because RIP updates are broadcast, switches will forward
the updates out all ports.
– All devices on the LAN must process the update up to the
Transport layers, where the receiving device will discard
the update.
– Advertising updates on a broadcast network is a security
risk. RIP updates can be intercepted with packet sniffing
software. Routing updates can be modified and sent back
to the router, corrupting the routing table with false
metrics that misdirect traffic.

RIP Topology: Scenario B
RIP Topology: Scenario B
Boundary Router and Auto
Summarization
• RIP is a classful routing protocol that
automatically summarizes classful networks
across major network boundaries.
– R2 has interfaces in more than one major
classful network. This makes R2 a boundary
router in RIP.
– Serial 0/0/0 and FastEthernet 0/0 interfaces on
R2 are both inside the 172.30.0.0 boundary.
– The Serial 0/0/1 interface is inside the
192.168.4.0 boundary.
Boundary Router and Auto
Summarization
Boundary Router and Auto
Summarization
• Because boundary routers summarize RIP
subnets from one major network to the
other,
– updates for the 172.30.1.0, 172.30.2.0 and
172.30.3.0 networks will automatically be
summarized into 172.30.0.0 when sent out
R2's Serial 0/0/1 interface.
Processing RIP Updates (1)
• Rules for Processing RIPv1 Updates
• If a routing update and the interface on which it is
received belong to the same major network, the subnet
mask of the interface is applied to the network in the
routing update.
• If a routing update and the interface on which it is
received belong to different major networks, the classful
subnet mask of the network is applied to the network in
the routing update.
Processing RIP Updates (2)
Processing RIP Updates (3)
• How does R2 know that this subnet has a /24
(255.255.255.0) subnet mask? It knows because:
– R2 received this information on an interface that
belongs to the same classful network (172.30.0.0) as
that of the incoming 172.30.1.0 update.
– The IP address for which R2 received the "172.30.1.0 in
1 hops" message was on Serial 0/0/0 with an IP
address of 172.30.2.2 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 (/24).
– R2 uses its own subnet mask on this interface and
applies it to this and all other 172.30.0.0 subnets that it
receives on this interface - in this case, 172.30.1.0.
Processing RIP Updates (4)
Advantage of Automatic
summarization
• Smaller routing updates sent and received, which uses
less bandwidth for routing updates between R2 and R3.
– RIP sends out only a single update for the entire classful
network instead of one for each of the different subnets.
• R3 has a single route for the 172.30.0.0/16 network,
regardless of how many subnets there are or how it is
subnetted. Using a single route results in a faster lookup
process in the routing table for R3.
Disdvantage of Automatic
summarization (1/6)
• Notice that R1 and R3 both have subnets from
•
•
the 172.30.0.0/16 major network, whereas R2
does not.
Essentially, R1 and R3 are boundary routers for
172.30.0.0/16 because they are separated by
another major network, 209.165.200.0/24.
This separation creates a discontiguous network,
as two groups of 172.30.0.0/24 subnets are
separated by at least one other major network.
172.30.0.0/16 is a discontiguous network.
Disdvantage of Automatic
summarization (2/6)
Disdvantage of Automatic
summarization (3/6)
• R1 does not have any routes to the LANs
•
•
•
attached to R3.
R3 does not have any routes to the LANs
attached to R1.
R2 has two equal-cost paths to the 172.30.0.0
network.
R2 will load balance traffic destined for any
subnet of 172.30.0.0.
– This means that R1 will get half of the traffic and R3
will get the other half of the traffic whether or not the
destination of the traffic is for one of their LANs.

Problems
• R1 cannot ping to network 172.30.100.0

NO VLSM supported
• RIPv1 either summarizes the subnets to the
classful boundary or uses the subnet mask of
the outgoing interface to determine which
subnets to advertise.
No CIDR supported
Static Routing configuration and Routing Table on R2
Because …
• RIPv1 and other classful routing protocols
•
•
cannot support CIDR routes that are
summarized routes with a smaller subnet mask
than the classful mask of the route.
RIPv1 ignores these supernets in the routing
table and does not include them in updates to
other routers.
This is because the receiving router would only
be able to apply the larger classful mask to the
update and not the shorter /16 mask.
RIP V2
• RFC 1723
• RIPv2 is encapsulated in a UDP segment
using port 520 and can carry up to 25 routes.
• 3 extensions are added.
– The subnet mask field
– The Next Hop address
– The Route Tag
The subnet mask field
• Allow a 32 bit mask to be included in the
RIP route entry.
• As a result, the receiving router no longer
depends upon
– the subnet mask of the inbound interface or
– the classful mask when determining the
subnet mask for a route.
Next hop Address
• The Next Hop address is used to identify a better
•
•
next-hop address - if one exists - than the address
of the sending router.
If the field is set to all zeros (0.0.0.0), the address
of the sending router is the best next-hop address.
The purpose of the Next Hop field is to eliminate
packets being routed through extra hops in the
system.
• It is particularly useful when RIP is not being run on
all of the routers on a network.
Route Tag
• To provide a method of separating "internal"
RIP routes (routes for networks within the
RIP routing domain) from "external" RIP
routes, which may have been imported from
an EGP or another IGP
• Routers supporting protocols other than RIP
should be configurable to allow the Route
Tag to be configured for routes imported
from different sources
• It is either set to an arbitrary value, or at
least to the number of the Autonomous
System

Troubleshooting
• Version : misconfiguration
• Network Statements: incorrect or missing network
statements.
– The network statement does two things:
• It enables the routing protocol to send and receive updates on any
local interfaces that belong to that network.
• It includes that network in its routing updates to its neighboring
routers.
– A missing or incorrect network statement will result in
missed routing updates and routing updates not being
sent or received on an interface.
• Automatic Summarization
– If there is a need or expectation for sending specific
subnets and not just summarized routes, make sure that
automatic summarization has been disabled.
Verifying RIP
Authentication (1)
• A security concern of any routing protocol is
the possibility of accepting invalid routing
updates.
• The source of these invalid routing updates
could be an attacker maliciously attempting to
disrupt the network or trying to capture
packets by tricking the router into sending its
updates to the wrong destination.
• Another source of invalid updates could be a
misconfigured router.
Authentication (2)
Authentication (3)
• For example, in the figure, R1 is propagating a
•
•
•
default route to all other routers in this routing
domain.
However, someone has mistakenly added router R4
to the network, which is also propagating a default
route.
Some of the routers may forward default traffic to
R4 instead of to the real gateway router, R1.
These packets could be "black holed" and never
seen again.
Authentication (4)
• RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP can be
configured to authenticate routing
information.
• This practice ensures routers will only accept
routing information from other routers that
have been configured with the same
password or authentication information.
• Note: Authentication does not encrypt the
routing table.
RIPV2 Authentication (1)
• The authentication scheme for RIP version
2 will use the space of an entire RIP entry.
• If the Address Family Identifier of the first
(and only the first) entry in the message is
0xFFFF, then the remainder of the entry
contains the authentication.
• This means that there can be at most, 24
RIP entries in the remainder of the
message.
RIPV2 Authentication (2)
• Currently, the only Authentication Type is
simple password and it is type 2
• The remaining 16 octets contain the plain
text password.
• If the password is under 16 octets, it must
be left-justified and padded to the right
with nulls (0x00).
RIPV2 Authentication (3)
• If the router is not configured to authenticate RIP-2
messages, then
– RIP-1 and unauthenticated RIP-2 messages will be
accepted;
– authenticated RIP-2 messages shall be discarded.
• If the router is configured to authenticate RIP-2
messages, then
– RIP-1 messages and RIP-2 messages which pass
authentication testing shall be accepted;
– unauthenticated and failed authentication RIP-2 messages
shall be discarded.
RIPV2 Authentication (4)
• For maximum security, RIP- 1 messages should be
ignored when authentication is in use otherwise,
• The routing information from authenticated
messages will be propagated by RIP-1 routers in an
unauthenticated manner.
• Since an authentication entry is marked with an
Address Family
• Identifier of 0xFFFF, a RIP-1 system would ignore
this entry since it would belong to an address family
other than IP.
