What RIP Versions Are Supported?
There are two versions of RIP:
• RIP-1 defined in RFC 1058
–
Routes are specified by IP destination network and hop count
–
The routing table is broadcast to all stations on the attached network
• RIP-2 defined in RFC 1723
–
Route specification is extended to include subnet mask and gateway
–
The routing table is sent to a multicast address, reducing network
traffic
–
An authentication method is used for security
The PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and M8024-k switches support
both versions of RIP. You may configure a given port:
• To receive packets in either or both formats
• To transmit packets formatted for RIP-1 or RIP-2 or to send RIP-2 packets
to the RIP-1 broadcast address
• To prevent any RIP packets from being received
• To prevent any RIP packets from being transmitted
