Dynamic routing is the mean by which routers exchange routing information to do routing without the need for manual configuration (or static routing)
Introduction Dynamic routing protocols exchange routing information before populating routing tables and forwarding packets. For this task, RIP (routing information protocol) put into play many machanisms and rules to guarantee that this routing information exchange is consistent: not contradictory among routers. An example of such inconsistency is to receive the same routing information on two…
In this post, we work on our understading of the operation of RIP and how split horizon rule work Lab setup In our setup, R1 and R2 routers are in RIP domain and exchange information about loopback 0 and 1 networks. R1 is participating also to a static routing domain and advertises loopback 88 and…
This post is a part of series of posts about RIP dynamic routing protocol. Here we deepen our understanding on how RIP protocol advertises learnt RIP routes. A simple case is where a route is in the middle of this update process dans got a better route than RIP. Introduction Let’s recall first that RIP…
RIP is Routing Information Protocol, one of the IGP or Interior Gateway Porotocols called also a vector-based routing protocol in contrast with link-state, hybrid or path-based protocols. The function of this protocol is very simple, send updates about known networks through local interfaces enabled for this sending… In this lab we use a standard version…
This post is part of a series of blogs about RIP functionning from the basic to the more complex operation. Let’s recall that RIP stands for Routing Information Protocol and is an IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) in the same category as OSPF, EIGRP, etc.; most implementations of RIP are not centralized (distributed) meaning that no…
In this post we’ll deep into the operation of BGP that is a Border Gateway protocol aimed at connecting (routing information exchange) autonomous system in contrast with IGP (Interior Gateway Protocols) that run into each autonomous system. Thus, we do not need to have detailed information about IGPs to exchange routing information… before this routing…...
