RIP
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is only supported on the 7210 SAS-Mxp and 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE (standalone).
This chapter provides information about configuring RIP parameters.
RIP overview
The RIP is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that uses a distance-vector algorithm to determine the best route to a destination, using hop count as the metric. In order for the protocol to provide complete information About routing, every router in the domain must participate in the protocol.
RIP is a routing protocol based on a distance vector (Bellman-Ford) algorithm, which advertises network reachability by advertising prefix/mask and the metric (also known as hop count or cost). RIP selects the route with the lowest metric as the best route. RIP differs from link-state database protocols, such as OSPF and IS-IS, in that RIP advertises reachability information directly and link-state-database-based protocols advertise topology information. Each node is responsible for calculating the reachability information from the topology.
The router software supports RIPv1 and RIPv2. RIPv1, specified in RFC 1058, was written and implemented before the introduction of CIDR. It assumes the netmask information for non-local routes, based on the class the route belongs to:
class A - 8-bit mask
class B - 16-bit mask
class C - 24-bit mask
RIPv2 was written after CIDR was developed and transmits netmask information with every route. Because of the support for CIDR routes and other enhancements in RIPv2 such as triggered updates, multicast advertisements, and authentication, most production networks use RIPv2. However, there are some older systems (hosts and routers) that only support RIPv1, especially when RIP is used simply to advertise default routing information.

RIP features
RIP, a UDP-based protocol, updates its neighbors, and the neighbors update their neighbors, and so on. Each host that uses RIP has a routing process that sends and receives datagrams on UDP port number 520.
Each RIP router advertises all RIP routes periodically via RIP updates. Each update can contain a maximum of 25 route advertisements. This limit is imposed by RIP specifications. RIP can sometimes be configured to send as many as 255 routes per update. The formats of the RIPv1 and RIPv2 updates are slightly different and are shown as follows. Additionally, RIPv1 updates are sent to a broadcast address, RIPv2 updates can be either sent to a broadcast or multicast address (224.0.0.9). RIPv2 supports subnet masks, a feature that was not available in RIPv1.
A network address of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. A default route is used when it is not convenient to list every possible network in the RIP updates, and when one or more closely-connected gateways in the system are prepared to handle traffic to the networks that are not listed explicitly. These gateways create RIP entries for the address 0.0.0.0, as if it were a network to which they are connected.
RIP version types
The router allows you to specify the RIP version that is sent to RIP neighbors and RIP updates that is accepted and processed. The router allows the following combinations:
Send only RIPv1 or send only RIPv2 to either the broadcast or multicast address or send no messages.
The default sends RIPv2 formatted messages to the broadcast address.
Receive only RIPv1, receive only RIPv2, or receive both RIPv1 and RIPv2, or receive none.
The default receives both.
RIPv2 authentication
RIPv2 messages carry more information, which allows the use of a simple authentication mechanism to secure table updates. The router implementation enables the use of a simple password (plain text) or message digest (MD5) authentication.
Metrics
By default, RIP advertises all RIP routes to each peer every 30 seconds. RIP uses a hop count metric to determine the distance between the packet source and destination. The metric/cost values for a valid route is 1 through 15. A metric value of 16 (infinity) indicates that the route is no longer valid and should be removed from the router routing table.
Each router along the path increments the hop count value by 1. When a router receives a routing update with new or different destination information, the metric increments by 1.
The maximum number of hops in a path is 15. If a router receives a routing update with a metric of 15 and contains a new or modified entry, increasing the metric value by 1, it causes the metric to increment to 16 (infinity). Then, the destination is considered unreachable.
The router implementation of RIP uses split horizon with poison reverse to protect from problems such as ‟counting to infinity”. Split horizon with poison reverse means that routes learned from a neighbor through a specific interface are advertised in updates out of the same interface but with a metric of 16 (infinity).
Timers
RIP uses numerous timers to determine how often RIP updates are sent and how long routes are maintained.
Update
Times the interval between periodic routing updates.
Timeout
This timer is initialized when a route is established and any time an update message is received for the route. When this timer expires, the route is no longer valid. It is retained in the table for a short time, so that neighbors can be notified that the route has been dropped.
Flush
When the flush timer expires, the route is removed from the tables.
Import and export policies
Routing policies can control the content of the routing tables, the routes that are advertised and the best route to take to reach a destination. Import route policies determine which routes are accepted from RIP neighbors. Export route policies determine which routes are exported from the route table to RIP. By default, RIP does not export routes it has learned to its neighbors.
There are no default routing policies. A policy must be created explicitly and applied to a RIP import or export command.
RIP packet format
The following figure shows the RIP packet format.
A RIP packet consists of the following fields:
Command
Indicates whether the packet is a request or a response message. The request asks the responding system to send all or part of its routing table. The response may be sent in response to a request, or it may be an unsolicited routing update generated by the sender.
Version
The RIP version used. This field can signal different potentially incompatible versions.
Must be zero
Not used in RIPv1. This field provides backward compatibility with pre-standard varieties of RIP. The default value is zero.
Address family identifier (AFI)
The AFI is the type of address. RIP can carry routing information for several different protocols. Each entry in this field has an AFI to indicate the type of address being specified. The IP AFI is 2.
Address
The IP address for the packet.
Metric
Specifies the number of hops to the destination.
Mask
Specifies the IP address mask.
Next hop
Specifies the IP address of the next router along the path to the destination.
RIPv1 format
There can be between 1 and 25 (inclusive) RIP entries. The following figure shows RIPv1 format.
RIPv2 format
The following figure shows RIPv2 packet format.
The RIPv2 packets include the following fields:
Subnet mask
The subnet mask for the entry. If this field is zero, no subnet mask has been specified for the entry.
Next hop
The IP address of the next hop to forward packets.
Hierarchical levels
The minimum RIP configuration must define one group and one neighbor. The parameters configured on the global level are inherited by the group and neighbor levels. Parameters can be modified and overridden on a level-specific basis. RIP command hierarchy consists of three levels:
global
group
neighbor
Many of the hierarchical RIP commands can be modified on different levels. The most specific value is used. That is, a RIP group-specific command takes precedence over a global RIP command. A neighbor-specific statement takes precedence over a global RIP and group-specific command; for example, if you modify a RIP neighbor-level command default, the new value takes precedence over group- and global-level settings.
RIP configuration process overview
The following figure shows the process to configure RIP parameters.
Configuration notes
This section describes RIP configuration caveats.
General
Before RIP neighbor parameters can be configured, router interfaces must be configured.
RIP must be explicitly created for each router interface. There are no default RIP instances on a router.
Configuring RIP with CLI
This section provides information to configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP) using the command line interface.
RIP configuration overview
Preconfiguration requirements
Before beginning the RIP configuration, it is optional to define policy statements in the config>router>policy-options context.
RIP hierarchy
RIP is configured in the config>router>rip context. RIP is not enabled by default. Three hierarchical levels are included in RIP configurations:
global
group
neighbor
Commands and parameters configured on the global level are inherited by the group and neighbor levels although parameters configured on the group and neighbor levels take precedence over global configurations.
Basic RIP configuration
This section provides information to configure RIP and examples of common configuration tasks. For a router to accept RIP updates, in the config>router>rip context, you must define at least one group and one neighbor. A router ignores updates received from routers on interfaces not configured for RIP. Configuring other RIP commands and parameters are optional.
By default, the local router imports all routes from this neighbor and does not advertise routes. The router receives both RIPv1 and RIPv2 update messages with 25 to 255 route entries per message.
The RIP configuration commands have three primary configuration levels: rip for global configurations, group group-name for RIP group configurations, and neighbor ip-int-name for RIP neighbor configurations. Within the different levels, the configuration commands are identical. For the repeated commands, the command that is most specific to the neighboring router is in effect; that is, neighbor settings have precedence over group settings which have precedence over RIP global settings.
The minimal RIP parameters that need to be configured in the config>router>rip context are:
group
neighbor

Common configuration tasks
This section provides a brief overview of the tasks that must be performed to configure RIP and provides the CLI commands.
Configure RIP hierarchically using the global level (applies to all peers), the group level (applies to all peers in peer-group), or the neighbor level (only applies to the specified interface). By default, group members inherit the group configuration parameters although a parameter can be modified on a per-member basis without affecting the group-level parameters.
Many of the hierarchical RIP commands can be used on different levels. The most specific value is used. That is, a RIP group-specific command takes precedence over a global RIP command. A neighbor-specific statement takes precedence over a global RIP or group-specific command.
All RIP instances must be explicitly created on each device. When created, RIP is administratively enabled.
To configure RIP, perform the following tasks:
- Configure interfaces.
- Configure policy statements.
- Enable RIP.
- Configure group parameters.
- Configure neighbor parameters.
Configuring interfaces
The following command sequences create a logical IP interface. The logical interface can associate attributes like an IP address, port, Link Aggregation Group (LAG), or the system. See the 7210 SAS-Mxp, R6, R12, S, Sx, T Router Configuration Guide for more information about configuring interfaces.
Use the following syntax to configure a network interface.

#------------------------------------------
ALA-3>config>router#Configuring a route policy
The import route policy command allows you to filter routes being imported by the local router from its neighbors. If no match is found, the local router does not import any routes.
The export route policy command allows you to determine which routes are exported from the route table to RIP. By default, RIP does not export routes it has learned to its neighbors. If no export policy is specified, non-RIP routes are not exported from the routing table manager to RIP.
If multiple policy names are specified, the policies are evaluated in the order they are specified. The first policy that matches is applied. If multiple export commands are issued, the last command entered overrides the previous command. A maximum of five policy names can be specified.
This section only provides brief instructions to configure route policies. For more information, see the Route policies chapter.
To enter the mode to create or edit route policies, you must enter the begin keyword at the config>router>policy-options prompt. Other editing commands include:
The commit command saves and enables changes made to route policies during a session.
The abort command discards changes that have been made to route policies during a session.
Use the following syntax to configure a policy to use for the RIP global, group, and neighbor import and export commands.

no shutdownConfiguring global-level parameters
When the RIP protocol instance is created, the no shutdown command is not required because RIP is administratively enabled upon creation. Minimally, to enable RIP on a router, at least one group and one neighbor must be configured. There are no default groups or neighbors. Each group and neighbor must be explicitly configured.
Careful planning is essential to implement commands that can affect the behavior of global, group, and neighbor-levels. Because the RIP commands are hierarchical, analyze the values that can disable features on a particular level. Use the following CLI syntax to configure global-level RIP parameters:
config>router

Description
This command administratively disables an entity. Shutting down an entity does not change, reset, or remove any configuration settings or statistics. Many objects must be shut down before they may be deleted.
The shutdown command administratively shuts down an entity. Administratively shutting down an entity changes the operational state of the entity to down and the operational state of any entities contained within the administratively down entity.
Unlike other commands and parameters where the default state is not indicated in the configuration file, shutdown and no shutdown are always indicated in system generated configuration files.
The no form of this command puts an entity into the administratively enabled state.
Special Cases
- RIP Global
In the config>router>rip context, the shutdown command administratively enables or disables the RIP protocol instance. If RIP is globally shut down, all RIP group and neighbor interfaces transition to the operationally down state. Routes learned from a neighbor that is shut down are immediately removed from the RIP database and route table manager (RTM). A RIP protocol instance is administratively enabled by default.
- RIP Group
In the config>router>rip>group context, the shutdown command administratively enables or disables the RIP group. If a RIP group is shut down, all member neighbor interfaces transition to the operationally down state. Routes learned from a neighbor that is shut down are immediately removed from the RIP database and route table manager (RTM). A RIP group is administratively enabled by default.
- RIP Neighbor
In the config>router>rip>group>neighbor context, the shutdown command administratively enables or disables the RIP neighbor interface. If a RIP neighbor is shut down, the neighbor interface transitions to the operationally down state. Routes learned from a neighbor that is shut down are immediately removed from the RIP database and route table manager (RTM). A RIP neighbor interface is administratively enabled by default.

Description
This command sets the authentication password that is passed between RIP neighbors.
The authentication type and authentication key must match exactly for the RIP message to be considered authentic and processed.
The no form of this command removes the authentication password from the configuration and disables authentication.
Default
no authentication-key
Parameters
- authentication-key
Specifies the authentication key. Allowed values are any string up to 16 characters composed of printable, 7-bit ASCII characters. If the string contains special characters (#, $, spaces, and so on), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.
- hash-key
Specifies the hash key. The key can be any combination of ASCII characters up to 33 characters (encrypted). If spaces are used in the string, enclose the entire string in quotation marks (‟ ”).
This is useful when a user must configure the parameter, but, for security purposes, the actual unencrypted key value is not provided.
- hash
Keyword to specify that the key is entered in an encrypted form. If the hash parameter is not used, the key is assumed to be in a non-encrypted, clear text form. For security, all keys are stored in encrypted form in the configuration file with the hash parameter specified.
- hash2
Keyword to specify that the key is entered in a more complex encrypted form. If the hash2 parameter is not used, the less encrypted hash form is assumed.

The type and password must match exactly for the RIP message to be considered authentic and processed.
The no form of this command removes the authentication type from the configuration and effectively disables authentication.
Default
no authentication-type
Parameters
- none
Keyword that explicitly disables authentication at a specific level (global, group, neighbor). If the command does not exist in the configuration, the parameter is inherited.
- password
Keyword to enable simple password (plain text) authentication. If authentication is enabled and no authentication type is specified in the command, simple password authentication is enabled.
- message-digest
Keyword to configure 16-byte message digest for MD5 authentication. If this option is configured, at least one message-digest key must be configured.
- message-digest-20
Keyword to configure 20-byte message digest for MD5 authentication in accordance with RFC 2082, RIP-2 MD5 Authentication. If this option is configured, at least one message-digest key must be configured.

Description
This command enables checking for zero values in fields specified to be zero by the RIPv1 and RIPv2 specifications.
This command enables checking of the mandatory zero fields in the RIPv1 and RIPv2 specifications and rejecting of non-compliant RIP messages.
This command disables this check and allows the receipt of RIP messages even if the mandatory zero fields are non-zero.
This command can be set at all RIP levels: global level (applies to all groups and neighbor interfaces), group level (applies to all neighbor interfaces in the group), or neighbor level (only applies to the specified neighbor interface). The most specific value is used. In particular, if no value is set (no check-zero), the setting from the less specific level is inherited by the lower level.
The no form of this command removes this command from the configuration.
Special Cases
- RIP Global
By default, check-zero is disabled at the global RIP instance level.
Parameters
- enable
Keyword to reject RIP messages that do not have zero in the RIPv1 and RIPv2 mandatory fields.
- disable
Keyword to allow the receipt of RIP messages that do not have the mandatory zero fields reset.

Platforms
7210 SAS-Mxp and 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE (standalone)
Description
This command configures the preference for RIP routes.
A route can be learned by the router from different protocols, in which case the costs (metrics) are not comparable. When this occurs the preference is used to decide which route is used.
Different protocols should not be configured with the same preference, if this occurs the tiebreaker is made according to the default preference table defined in Route preference defaults by route type . If multiple routes are learned with an identical preference using the same protocol, the lowest cost route is used.
If multiple routes are learned with an identical preference using the same protocol and the costs (metrics) are equal, the decision of which route to use is determined by the configuration of the ecmp command in the config>router context.
The no form of this command reverts to the default value.
Default
preference 100
Parameters
- preference
Specifies the preference for RIP routes expressed as a decimal integer. The following table lists the defaults for different route types.

Description
This command configures the types of RIP updates that are accepted and processed.
If both or version-2 is specified, the RIP instance listens for and accepts packets sent to the broadcast and multicast (224.0.0.9) addresses.
If version-1 is specified, the router only listens for and accept packets sent to the broadcast address.
This control can be issued at the global, group, or interface level. The default behavior is to accept and process both RIPv1 and RIPv2 messages.
The no form of this command reverts to the default value.
Default
receive both
Parameters
- both
Keyword to specify that RIP updates in either version 1 or version 2 format are accepted.
- none
Keyword to specify that RIP updates are not accepted.
- version-1
Keyword to specify that RIP updates in version 1 format only are accepted.
- version-2
Keyword to specify that RIP updates in version 2 format only are accepted.

Description
This command specifies the type of RIP messages sent to RIP neighbors.
If version-1 is specified, the router need only listen for and accept packets sent to the broadcast address.
This control can be issued at the global, group, or interface level.
The no form of this command reverts to the default value.
Default
send broadcast
Parameters
- broadcast
Keyword that sends RIPv2 formatted messages to the broadcast address.

Context
config>router>rip

config>router>rip>group>neighbor
Platforms
7210 SAS-Mxp and 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE (standalone)
Description
This command enables the use of split-horizon.
RIP uses split-horizon with poison-reverse to avoid looping routes propagating through the network. Split-horizon with poison reverse means that routes learned from a neighbor through a specific interface are advertised in updates out of the same interface but with a metric of 16 (infinity).
The split-horizon disable command enables split horizon without poison reverse. This allows the routes to be readvertised on interfaces other than the interface that learned the route, with the advertised metric equaling an increment of the metric-in value.
This configuration parameter can be set at the following levels: global level (applies to all groups and neighbor interfaces), group level (applies to all neighbor interfaces in the group), or neighbor level (only applies to the specified neighbor interface). The most specific value is used. In particular, if no value is set (no split-horizon), the setting from the less specific level is inherited by the lower level.
The no form of this command disables split horizon, which allows the lower level to inherit the setting from an upper level.
Default
split-horizon enable
Parameters
- enable
Keyword to enable split horizon and poison reverse.
- disable
Keyword to disable split horizon, allowing routes to be readvertised on the same interface on which they were learned with the advertised metric incremented by the metric-in value.

Platforms
7210 SAS-Mxp and 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE (standalone)
Description
This command configures values for the update, timeout, and flush RIP timers.
The RIP update timer determines how often RIP updates are sent.
If the route is not updated by the time the RIP timeout timer expires, the route is declared invalid but is maintained in the RIP database.
The RIP flush timer determines how long a route is maintained in the RIP database after it has been declared invalid. When the flush timer expires, the route is removed from the RIP database.
The no form of this command reverts to the default values.
Default
timers 30 180 120
Parameters
- update
Specifies the RIP update timer value in seconds, expressed as a decimal integer.
- timeout
Specifies the RIP timeout timer value in seconds, expressed as a decimal integer.
- flush
Specifies the RIP flush timer value in seconds, expressed as a decimal integer.
