I can ping any host from any host. As RIP does not support CIDR nor VLSM, I was kind of expecting that the network should be separated. But no. After a bit checking and reading, I found that RIP 1 does not support CIDR nor VLSM, but it does support subnetting. It can learn the subnets from its interfaces. We can also see this factor from the routing table. The // i // indicates that the subnet is learned from the interface. The only dynamic routings are labeled with R, and they are all classful address. To start with, RIP 1 will flood the whole network segment by using network broadcast address. #request sent by router a 1 0.000000 10.0.0.1 10.255.255.255 RIPv1 Request #request sent by router b 5 0.032778 10.0.0.2 10.255.255.255 RIPv1 Request #response sent by router a unicast to b 10 0.044698 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 RIPv1 Response router a broadcast request to 10.0.0.0/8. The directly connected party is router b. b send also a flood to the network. And router a sees the request, it will send a unicast to router b to inform its routing table to router b. We'll see the detail of the packets here. \\ ** packet 1 ** 1 0.000000 10.0.0.1 10.255.255.255 RIPv1 Request User Datagram Protocol, Src Port: router (520), Dst Port: router (520) Through port 520 the packet is sent, by using UDP. So it is not reliable. ** packet 5 **, is similar to parket 1. only the source address should be router b's address. ** packet 10 ** \\ 10 0.044698 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 RIPv1 Response Routing Information Protocol Command: Response (2) Version: RIPv1 (1) IP Address: 20.0.0.0, Metric: 1 Address Family: IP (2) IP Address: 20.0.0.0 (20.0.0.0) Metric: 1 This is the unicast response sent by router a to router b on 10.0.0.0/8 network. It tell router b that it knows 20.0.0.0/8 network and the metric (hop) is 1. In this way the routers exchange and expand there routing table. After the routing table is constructed, the routers start sending periodically the updates with their full database. We can also see from the total database information that indeed there is no dynamic routing information exchanged for the VLSM networks. Only the classful addresses get regularly updated. 284 1273.294150 192.168.1.34 192.168.1.47 RIPv1 Response Routing Information Protocol Command: Response (2) Version: RIPv1 (1) IP Address: 10.0.0.0, Metric: 2 IP Address: 20.0.0.0, Metric: 2 IP Address: 40.0.0.0, Metric: 1 Another strange thing is 2 0.021336 10.0.0.1 224.0.0.22 IGMP V3 Membership Report / Join group 224.0.0.9 for any sources RIP1 is not making use of multicast address, but it is joining 224.0.0.9.

And neighbors get unicasts during the adjacency. The the database is roughly multicasted every 30 seconds. According to the implementation the 30 seconds can vary +/-50%. There are more fields carried in RIP2 packets. Next we have a look at one packet in more detail, for example, packet 11 in the above table Routing Information Protocol Command: Response (2) Version: RIPv2 (2) Routing Domain: 0 IP Address: 10.0.0.0, Metric: 1 Address Family: IP (2) Route Tag: 0 IP Address: 10.0.0.0 (10.0.0.0) Netmask: 255.0.0.0 (255.0.0.0) Next Hop: 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) Metric: 1 . . The whole routing idea/algorithm is the same, but RIP has the netmask filed built in to be able to support VLSM. The routing domain makes it possible to run multiple instances of RIP on the same network. The route tag is used to differentiate external routes injected by other routing protocol and locally learned routes. The next hop filed make it possible to give different next hop rather than use the sender of the packet. In RIP 1 this is assumed, however in RIP2 it is not the case. In this packet, since it is all 0.0.0.0/0, it means that the next hop should be the sender. ==== Network 2 ==== This is the general diagram {{2010-2011:students:vic_ding:rip2.png|}} === What happens if you run RIP version 1 in this network? === + Script to run this network with RIP version 1 + #!/bin/sh #start switches in hub mode first ./netstart start hub swa ./netstart start hub swb ./netstart start hub swc ./netstart start hub swd ./netstart start hub swcore #start sniffers ./netstart start sniffer sniffera swa ./netstart start sniffer snifferb swb ./netstart start sniffer snifferc swc ./netstart start sniffer snifferd swd ./netstart start sniffer sniffercore swcore sleep 10 #start hosts ./netstart start host hosta swa 172.19.16.2 255.255.240.0 172.19.31.255 172.19.16.1 ./netstart start host hostb swb 172.19.47.2 255.255.248.0 172.19.47.255 172.19.47.1 ./netstart start host hostc swc 172.19.52.2 255.255.252.0 172.19.55.255 172.19.52.1 ./netstart start host hostd swd 172.19.70.2 255.255.255.0 172.19.70.255 172.19.70.1 #start routers ./netstart start router routera swa 172.19.16.1 255.255.240.0 172.19.31.255 swcore 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.255 rip 1 ./netstart start router routerb swb 172.19.47.1 255.255.248.0 172.19.47.255 swcore 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.255 rip 1 ./netstart start router routerc swc 172.19.52.1 255.255.252.0 172.19.55.255 swcore 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.255 rip 1 ./netstart start router routerd swd 172.19.70.1 255.255.255.0 172.19.70.255 swcore 192.168.0.4 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.255 rip 1 Make sure it runs version 1.

This is the expected situation which should happen as this is running RIP1. The hosts can not go any further than the directly connected gateway. The subnets are now on the other side of the routers, they are not directly in between routers, like the situation in network1. So RIP 1 cannot learn it from the interface anymore, that is why the "learning from interface" does not work either. On the core switch in the middle I got only the IGMP to for the routers to join the 224.0.0.9, and 4 requests packets for 192.168.0.0/24. Nothing else. === What happens if you run RIP version 2 in this network? === + script to start network2 in RIPv2 + #!/bin/sh #start switches in hub mode first ./netstart start hub swa ./netstart start hub swb ./netstart start hub swc ./netstart start hub swd ./netstart start hub swcore #start sniffers ./netstart start sniffer sniffera swa ./netstart start sniffer snifferb swb ./netstart start sniffer snifferc swc ./netstart start sniffer snifferd swd ./netstart start sniffer sniffercore swcore sleep 10 #start hosts ./netstart start host hosta swa 172.19.16.2 255.255.240.0 172.19.31.255 172.19.16.1 ./netstart start host hostb swb 172.19.47.2 255.255.248.0 172.19.47.255 172.19.47.1 ./netstart start host hostc swc 172.19.52.2 255.255.252.0 172.19.55.255 172.19.52.1 ./netstart start host hostd swd 172.19.70.2 255.255.255.0 172.19.70.255 172.19.70.1 #start routers ./netstart start router routera swa 172.19.16.1 255.255.240.0 172.19.31.255 swcore 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.255 rip 2 ./netstart start router routerb swb 172.19.47.1 255.255.248.0 172.19.47.255 swcore 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.255 rip 2 ./netstart start router routerc swc 172.19.52.1 255.255.252.0 172.19.55.255 swcore 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.255 rip 2 ./netstart start router routerd swd 172.19.70.1 255.255.255.0 172.19.70.255 swcore 192.168.0.4 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.255 rip 2 routing information from each router + router a + ripd# sh ip r Codes: R -

All the routes should be learned and installed properly. Only thing worth mentioning is that RIP is using split horizon to avoid storm and loop. As can be seen in the following packets, router b is only responding with the directly connected 172.19.40.0 network and router d is only responding with 172.19.70.0. All the other routes are learned from each other, therefor should not be multi casted back. #router b 7 0.144773 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.1 RIPv2 Response IP Address: 172.19.40.0, Metric: 1 #router b 27 0.965577 192.168.0.2 224.0.0.9 RIPv2 Response IP Address: 172.19.40.0, Metric: 1 #router d 28 1.087579 192.168.0.4 224.0.0.9 RIPv2 Response IP Address: 172.19.70.0, Metric: 1 === Make a full analysis of the packet trace in both cases.
