RIP Part 1 Cheatsheet Network Walks

RIPv2 is a distance vector interior gateway protocol that uses hop count as its metric. It multicasts routing updates to neighbors every 30 seconds using UDP port 520. The RIPv2 packet format includes fields for command, version, address family identifier, route tag, IP address, subnet mask, next hop, and metric. It supports features like split horizon, poison reverse, triggered updates, and has a maximum hop count of 15 to avoid routing loops.

Split Horizon
“A rule that states a Router may not advertise a route back to the neighbor
from which it was learned”

Split Horizon and Poison Reverse RIPv2 Metric Calculations


“A Router advertises a network as unreachable through the interface on which Hop Count is used as Metric in RIPv2. Before advertising to neighbor, one hop is
it was learned”
incremented by each router & routes with least hop count are installed in routing
table. Max Hop Count is 15 & 16 is considered infinite and it can’t be advertised
Triggered Updates
If a metric is changed, it is immediately advertised to neighbors without and installed in routing table.

Hop Count
RIP has a maximum hop count of 15 by default to avoid the Count to
