RIPv2

RIPv2 adds support for subnet fields in the RIP routing updates, thus qualifying it as a classless routing
protocol. The RIPv2 message format includes entries for route tags, subnet masks, and next hop addresses.
Another enhancement included in RIPv2 is multicasting for route updates on IP multicast address
224.0.0.9.

Implementation Information

FTOS supports both versions of RIP and allows you to configure one version globally and the other
version or both versions on the interfaces. The C-Series and E-Series both support 1,000 RIP routes.

Configuration Information

By default, RIP is disabled in FTOS. To configure RIP, you must use commands in two modes: ROUTER
RIP and INTERFACE. Commands executed in the ROUTER RIP mode configure RIP globally, while
commands executed in the INTERFACE mode configure RIP features on that interface only.
RIP is best suited for small, homogeneous networks. All devices within the RIP network must be
configured to support RIP if they are to participate in the RIP.
