 RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
 RIP is a dynamic routing protocol which uses hop count as a
routing metric to find the best path between the source and
destination network. It’s a distance vector routing protocol that
has an AD (Administrative Distance) value 120 and works on
Application layer of the OSI model.

 RIP sends the complete routing table out of all active interfaces
every 30 seconds. It has the maximum allowable hop count of
15 seconds by default, so a destination 16 would be considered
unreachable. RIP works okay in very small network, but it works
inefficient on large network slow WAN (Wide Area Network)
links or networks with a large number of routers installed and
utterly useless on networks that have links with variable
bandwidths, RIP uses port number 520.

 Routing Information Protocol was initially designed for XEROX

PARC (Palo Alto Research Centre) universal protocol and was
called GWINFO in the Xerox Network System (XNS) protocol
suite in 1981.RIP, which was defined in RFC 1058 in 1988, is
known for being easy to configure and easy to use in small
network.

 RIP version 1 uses only classful routing, which means that all
device in the network must use the same subnet mask. This is
because RIP version 1 doesn’t send updates with subnet mask
information in tow.
 Advantages of Dynamic over Static:
 There is no need to know the destination networks.
 Need to advertise the directly connected networks.
 Updates the topology changes dynamically.
 Administrative work is reduced
 Used for large organizations.

RIP Timer:
Timers in RIP helps regulate performance. They include:
1. Update Timer: 30 second
-Time between consecutive update.

2. Invalid Timer:180 second

-Time a router waits to hear an update.
-The router is marked unreachable if there is no update
during this interval.

3. Flush Timer:240 seconds

-Time before the invalid route is purged from the routing
table.

4. Holddown Timer:180 seconds

-Specified the amount of time for which the information
about more mediocre routes are ignored.
Disadvantages of RIP:
 More bandwidth utilization.
 Doesn’t consider the bandwidth, works only with hop counts.
 Slow convergence.
 Formation of Routing loops.

Initial configuration:
1.) First of all, we need networking devices that is routers and
switches and end devices like pc or laptop.

2.) Then we need to connect one interface to the router that is

Serial interface and one interface to the switches that is Fast
Ethernet and connecting Pc to the switch.

3.) By default, interfaces on router are remain administratively

down during the start-up, so we need to configure the IP
address and other parameters on an interface before we
could use them for routing.
 4.) Interface mode is used to assign IP addresses and other
parameters. Interface mode can be accessed from global
configuration mode. The following commands are used to
access global configuration mode.

First of all, click on the router and go to CLI tab

Commands:

From global configuration mode, we can enter into interface mode;

from there, we can configure interface mode. The following
command will assign IP address on fast Ethernet
COMMANDS:

 interface Fastethernet 0/0 =Command is used to enter in

interface mode.
  IP address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 =command will assign
IP address to interface.
 No shutdown=Command will bring interface up
 Exit=Command is used to enter into global configuration
mode.

Every serial cable needs two additional parameters Clock rate and
bandwidth. Every serial cable has two ends DTE and DCE. These
parameters are always configured at DCE ends.

Now we need to assign IP to serial interface:

STEPS:

Router#configure terminal: Command is used to enter into global

configuration mode.
Router(config)#interface serial 0/0/0: Command is used to enter in
interface mode.
Router(config-if) #ip address 192.168.1.249
255.255.255.252=Command assigns IP address to interface. For
serial link, we usually use an IP address from /30 subnet.
Router(config-if) #clock rate 64000 = When you set the clock rate
for a serial interface, you are setting the speed of the interface.

Router(config-if)#bandwidth 64 = the bandwidth (bandwidth

meaning rate of data transfer). When using this command, it's in
the form of bits: 64000 bits = 64 kb.
Router(config-if)#no shutdown = Command brings interface up.

Router(config-if)#exit = Command is used to return into global

configuration mode.

We will use the same command to assign IP addresses on interfaces

of remaining routers. We need to provide clock rate and bandwidth
only on the DCE side of the serial interface. Following command will
assign IP addresses on interface router 1

Use the same commands to assign IP addresses on interfaces of

Router2.
Now we have done with our half configuration; now we have to do
the rip.
Now routers have information about the networks that they have on their
interfaces. Routers will not exchange this information between them on their
own. We need to implement a RIP routing protocol that will insist them to
share this information.

Configuring RIP routing protocol:

-Enable RIP routing protocol from global configuration mode.
-Tell RIP routing protocol which networks you want to advertise.

Let’s configure in router 0

router rip: command tells the router to enable the RIP routing
protocol.
Network: command allows us to specify the networks which we want to
advertise. We only need to specify the networks which are directly connected
with the router.
That’s it. We need to the same configuration on the remaining router.

That’s it. Our network is ready to take the advantage of RIP routing. To verify
the setup, we will use ping command. ping command is used to test the
connectivity between two devices.
Click on PC and then go to Desktop tab then click on Command Prompt.
We got reply from 10.0.0.2 that means we have successfully implemented the
RIP.
