3.3.5.2 RIP
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a dynamic route protocol using distance vector algorithm to select
the optimal path. With features of easy configuration, management and implementation, it is widely used
in small and medium-sized networks such as the campus network.
The distance of RIP refers to the hop counts that a data packet passes through before reaching its
destination, the value range of which is 1–15. It means the destination cannot be reached if the value is
more than 15. Optimal path indicates the path with the fewest hop counts. RIP exchanges the route
information every 30 seconds by broadcasting UDP packets. If one Router has not sent route information
in 180 seconds, the RIP of the other routers would set the distance to this Router into infinity and delete
the corresponding information from route table.
RIP develops from initial RIPv1 to RIPv2 gradually. Compared with RIPv1, RIPv2 supports VLSM
(Variable Length Subnet Mask), simple plain text authentication, MD5 cryptograph authentication, CIDR
(Classless Inter-Domain Routing) and multicast.
TL-ER6120 supports both RIPv1 version and RIPv2 version, thus you can configure the RIP version
based on the actual need to improve the network performance.
