Features of RIP

  • Updates of the network are exchanged periodically. 
  • Updates (routing information) are always broadcast. 
  • Full routing tables are sent in updates. 
  • Routers always trust routing information received from neighbor routers. This is also known as Routing on rumors.

Configuring RIP Static Neighbors

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol that uses hop count as a routing metric to find the best path between the source and the destination network. It is a distance-vector routing protocol that has an AD value of 120 and works on the Network layer of the OSI model. RIP uses port number 520.

Hop Count:

Hop count is the number of routers occurring between the source and destination network. The path with the lowest hop count is considered the best route to reach a network and therefore placed in the routing table. The maximum hop count allowed for RIP is 15 and a hop count of 16 is considered as network unreachable....
