 RIP History
• RIPv1 has the following limitations:
– It does not send subnet mask information in its
updates.
– It sends updates as broadcasts on
255.255.255.255.
– It does not support authentication.
– It is not able to support VLSM or classless
interdomain routing (CIDR).

 Default Routes
• Default routes — The
system administrator
manually defines
default routes as the
path to take when there
is no known route to the
destination.
• Default routes keep
routing tables shorter.
