Overview
Explains how to configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP), including RIPv2 and RIPng, to manage routing exchange in small to medium networks. Learn to facilitate route redistribution between local sites and the overlay network using distance-vector algorithms..
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses broadcast or multicast User Datagram Protocol (UDP) data packets to exchange routing information. Commonly deployed in small to medium TCP/IP networks, RIP calculates routes based on hop count and sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and upon network topology changes.
Feature history for RIP
Lists the development milestones and release information for RIP, including feature description.
RIP in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN
Explains the fundamental mechanics of distance-vector routing and the specific enhancements provided by RIPv2 and RIPng. Learn how the protocol uses hop counts and OMP route tagging to maintain reachability and prevent loops in your network topology.
Configure RIPv2 using the CLI
Enables the routing process and sets up VRF-aware support on your devices. This task guides you through specifying versions, configuring route summarization, and redistributing protocols to ensure consistent IPv4 connectivity across your service and transport segments.
Verification commands for RIPv2 configuration
Provides details about essential commands used to confirm operational status and routing table entries for IPv4. Use these tools to inspect the RIP database and BFD neighbors to ensure that your routing configurations are functioning correctly within the network.
Configure RIPng using the CLI
Implements IPv6 routing support by enabling the RIPng process within specific service VPNs. This task involves defining administrative distances, creating prefix lists, and configuring interface-specific metrics to optimize traffic flow for modern IPv6 environments.
Verification commands for RIPng configuration
Provides details about the commands used to confirm the status of IPv6 routing configurations and VRF table entries. Use these verification steps to inspect prefix lists and redistributed routes to ensure that RIPng is successfully communicating with other protocols.
