8: RIP -- Routing Information Protocol is widely deployed interior gateway
9: protocol. RIP was developed in the 1970s at Xerox Labs as part of the
10: XNS routing protocol. RIP is a @dfn{distance-vector} protocol and is
11: based on the @dfn{Bellman-Ford} algorithms. As a distance-vector
12: protocol, RIP router send updates to its neighbors periodically, thus
13: allowing the convergence to a known topology. In each update, the
14: distance to any given network will be broadcasted to its neighboring
15: router.
16:
17: @command{ripd} supports RIP version 2 as described in RFC2453 and RIP
18: version 1 as described in RFC1058.

38: The default configuration file name of @command{ripd}'s is
39: @file{ripd.conf}. When invocation @command{ripd} searches directory
40: @value{INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC}. If @file{ripd.conf} is not there next
41: search current directory.

43: RIP uses UDP port 520 to send and receive RIP packets. So the user must have
44: the capability to bind the port, generally this means that the user must
45: have superuser privileges. RIP protocol requires interface information
46: maintained by @command{zebra} daemon. So running @command{zebra}
47: is mandatory to run @command{ripd}. Thus minimum sequence for running
48: RIP is like below:
49:
50: @example
51: @group
52: # zebra -d
53: # ripd -d
54: @end group
55: @end example
56:
57: Please note that @command{zebra} must be invoked before @command{ripd}.

88: @subsection RIP netmask
89:
90: The netmask features of @command{ripd} support both version 1 and version 2 of
91: RIP. Version 1 of RIP originally contained no netmask information. In
92: RIP version 1, network classes were originally used to determine the
93: size of the netmask. Class A networks use 8 bits of mask, Class B
94: networks use 16 bits of masks, while Class C networks use 24 bits of
95: mask. Today, the most widely used method of a network mask is assigned
96: to the packet on the basis of the interface that received the packet.
97: Version 2 of RIP supports a variable length subnet mask (VLSM). By
98: extending the subnet mask, the mask can be divided and reused. Each
99: subnet can be used for different purposes such as large to middle size
100: LANs and WAN links. Quagga @command{ripd} does not support the non-sequential
101: netmasks that are included in RIP Version 2.
102:
103: In a case of similar information with the same prefix and metric, the
104: old information will be suppressed. Ripd does not currently support
105: equal cost multipath routing.

112: The @code{router rip} command is necessary to enable RIP. To disable
113: RIP, use the @code{no router rip} command. RIP must be enabled before
114: carrying out any of the RIP commands.

123: Set the RIP enable interface by @var{network}. The interfaces which
124: have addresses matching with @var{network} are enabled.
125:
126: This group of commands either enables or disables RIP interfaces between
127: certain numbers of a specified network address. For example, if the
128: network for 10.0.0.0/24 is RIP enabled, this would result in all the
129: addresses from 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255 being enabled for RIP. The @code{no

136: receiving of RIP packets will be enabled on the port specified in the

143: Specify RIP neighbor. When a neighbor doesn't understand multicast,
144: this command is used to specify neighbors. In some cases, not all
145: routers will be able to understand multicasting, where packets are sent
146: to a network or a group of addresses. In a situation where a neighbor
147: cannot process multicast packets, it is necessary to establish a direct
148: link between routers. The neighbor command allows the network
149: administrator to specify a router as a RIP neighbor. The @code{no

171: interface, all receiving packets are processed as normal and ripd does
172: not send either multicast or unicast RIP packets except to RIP neighbors
173: specified with @code{neighbor} command. The interface may be specified

197:
198: It is important to note that RIPv1 can not be authenticated. Further,
199: if RIPv1 is enabled then RIP will reply to REQUEST packets, sending the
