25 RIP
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a widely-used protocol for managing router information
within a self-contained network such as a corporate local area network or an interconnected
group of such LANs. RIP is classified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as one of
several internal gateway protocols (Interior Gateway Protocol).
RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the network topology changes.
When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing
table to reflect the new route. The metric value for the path is increased by 1, and the sender is
indicated as the next hop. RIP routers maintain only the best route (the route with the lowest
metric value) to a destination.
After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting routing updates to
inform other network routers of the change. These updates are sent independently of the
regularly scheduled updates that RIP routers send. RIP uses a hop count as a way to determine
network distance. Each host with a router in the network uses the routing table information to
determine the next host to route a packet to for a specified destination.
The list of CLI commands for the configuration of RIP is as follows:
router rip
ip rip security
ip rip retransmission
network
neighbor
passive-interface vlan
output-delay
redistribute
default-metric
route-tag
auto-summary
ip rip default route originate
