Routing Information Protocol is used in IP for broadcasting open path information between routers to keep routing tables current. Figure 138 Disable/Enable RIP Window Clicking the Modify button displays the Modify RIP window shown below in Figure 139.
Routing Configuration Window Routing Information Protocol Options The following options are available in the Modify RIP panel: Do Not Send — do not send any Routing Information Protocol packets from this interface. Do Not Receive — do not allow any Routing Information Protocol packets to be received by this interface. RIP Version 1 — only RIP-1 messages are (sent/received). RIP-1 does not allow subnet addressing and does not use authentication.
Configuration with QuickSET Next Hop Entries in RIP-2 routing tables always have a Next Hop field. The Next Hop is the IP address of the next router along the path to the destination. The purpose of the Next Hop in the routing table is to prevent packets from being routed through extra hops in the system. The limitation of a maximum network diameter of 15 hops for the Next Hop field is common to both RIP-1 and RIP-2.
Routing Configuration Window Authentication Authentication is a function of RIP-2 protocol only. It is not usually important to conceal the information in the routing messages, but it is essential to prevent the insertion of bogus routing information into the routers. Authentication prevents someone who cannot directly access the network (i.e., someone who cannot sniff the packets to determine the password) from inserting bogus routing information.
Configuration with QuickSET * If the router is not configured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 and unauthenticated RIP-2 messages will be accepted. Authenticated RIP-2 messages will be discarded. If the router is configured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 messages and RIP-2 messages which pass authentication testing will be accepted. Unauthenticated and failed authentication RIP-2 messages shall be discarded.
Routing Configuration Window OSPF employs “flooding” to exchange link-states with other routers. Any change in routing information is flooded to all routers in the network. The use of “areas” puts a boundary on the explosion of link-state updates. All routers within an area will have the exact link-state database. Figure 140 OSPF Settings Window The OSPF Settings window shown in Figure 140 above, displays a database of areas.
