RIP (Routing Interchange Protocol) Configuration

RIP Overview

RIP is one of the two main groups of routing protocols - the other is OSPF (refer to "OSPF Overview" on page 49 for details). It is a “distance vector protocol” – the router decides which path to use on distance or the number of intermediate hops. In order for this protocol to work correctly, all the routers – and possibly the nodes – need to gather information on how to reach each destination in the Internet. The very simplicity of RIP has a disadvantage however: this protocol does not take into account he network bandwidth, physical cost, data priority, and so on.

The P460 supports the widely used RIP routing protocol – both RIPv1 and RIPv2. The RIPv1 protocol imposes some limitations on the network design with regard to subnetting. When operating RIPv1, you must not configure variable length subnetwork masks (VLMS). Each IP network must have a single mask, implying that all subnetworks in a given IP network are of the same size. Also, when operating RIPv1, you must not configure supernets. These are networks with a mask smaller than the natural net mask of the address class, such as 192.1.0.0 with mask 255.255.0.0, smaller than the natural class C mask which is 255.255.255.0. For detailed descriptions of RIP refer to the standards and published literature.

RIPv2 is a new version of the RIP routing protocol but with some advantages over RIPv1. RIPv2 solves some of the problems associated with RIPv1. The most important change in RIPv2 is the addition of a subnetwork mask field which allows RIPv2 to support variable length subnetworks. RIPv2 also includes an authentication mechanism similar to the one used in OSPF.

Configuration of the RIP version, 1 or 2, is per IP interface. Configuration must be homogenous on all routers on each subnetwork, that is, there should not be both RIPv1 and RIPv2 routers on the same subnetwork. However, you can configure different IP interfaces of the P460 with different RIP versions. This configuration is valid as long as all routers on the subnet are configured to the same version.

RIPv2 and RIPv1 are considered the same protocol with regard to redistribution to/ from OSPF and static route preferences.

The Avaya P460 supports both RIPv1 and RIPv2 in Router mode.
