(simple plaintext password and MD5 password authentication are supported), and support variable length

subnet mask. RIP-II used some of the zero field of RIP-I and require no zero field verification. switch send

RIP-II packets in multicast by default, both RIP-I and RIP-II packets will be accepted.

Each layer3 switch running RIP has a route database, which contains all route entries for reachable

destination, and route table is built based on this database. When a RIP layer3 switch sent route update

packets to its neighbor devices, the complete route table is included in the packets. Therefore, in a large

network, routing data to be transferred and processed for each layer3 switch is quite large, causing degraded

network performance.

Besides the above mentioned, RIP protocol allows route information discovered by the other routing protocols

to be introduced to the route table.

The operation of RIP protocol is shown below:

1． Enable RIP. The switch sends request packets to the neighbor layer3 switches by broadcasting;

on receiving the request, the neighbor devices reply with the packets containing their local

routing information.

2． The Layer3 switch modifies its local route table on receiving the reply packets and sends

triggered update packets to the neighbor devices to advertise route update information. On

receiving the triggered update packet, the neighbor lay3 switches send triggered update packets

to their neighbor lay3 switches. After a sequence of triggered update packet broadcast, all layer3

switches get and maintain the latest route information.

In addition, RIP layer3 switches will advertise its local route table to their neighbor devices every 30 seconds.

On receiving the packets, neighbor devices maintain their local route table, select the best route and advertise

the updated information to their own neighbor devices, so that the updated routes are globally valid. Moreover,

RIP uses a timeout mechanism for outdated route, that is, if a switch does not receive regular update packets

from a neighbor within a certain interval (invalid timer interval), it considers the route from that neighbor invalid,

after holding the route fro a certain interval (holddown timer interval), it will delete that route.

36.2 RIP Configuration Task List

1. Enable RIP (required)

(1) Enable/disable RIP module.

(2) Enable interface to send/receive RIP packets

2. Configure RIP protocol parameters (optional)

(1) Configure RIP sending mechanism

1) Configure specified RIP packets transmission address

2) Configure RIP interface broadcast

(2) Configure the RIP routing parameters

1) Configure route introduction (default route metric, configure routes of the other protocols to be

introduced in RIP)

2) Configure interface authentication mode and password

3) Configure the route deviation
