Explains how RIP operates in small autonomous systems, including route exchange, version support, route selection, timers, redistribution, policies, authentication, and RIPng configuration.
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance vector interior gateway protocol that
-
exchanges routing information within an autonomous system in a small network
-
supports the standard implementation of RIPv2, and
-
provides backward compatibility with RIPv1 as specified by RFC 2453.
| Feature Name | Release Information | Feature Description |
|---|---|---|
| RIPv2 | Release 7.4.1 | This feature enables RIP as the IGP of your network. RIP broadcasts UDP data packets to exchange routing information in networks that are flat rather than hierarchical, reducing network complexity and network management time. |
Understanding RIP
Explains the capabilities, limitations, metrics, version behavior, and common use cases of RIPv2 on Cisco IOS XR.
Configure RIP
Teaches you how to enable the RIP process, define neighbors, and configure interface packet send and receive behavior for RIP version handling.
Routing Information Protocol next generation
Explains how RIPng extends RIP to IPv6 by supporting IPv6 route exchange, FF02::9 multicast updates, route filtering, default origination, and IPv6 routing behavior similar to IPv4 RIP.
