Overview:
RIPv2 is an enhancement over RIPv1 in that RIPv2 overcomes three main limitations. RIPv2 accommodates discontiguous network designs, supernetting and VLSM.
Study Notes:
- RIPv2 is an enhancement over RIPv1
- RIPv2 is encapsulated in a UDP segment on port 520
- RIPv2 can carry up to 25 ruotes
- RIPv2 includes a subnet mask field allowing a 32-bit mask to be included in the RIP route entry
- RIPv2 accommodates discontiguous network designs
- RIPv2 addresses can be supernetted
- RIPv2 addresses can be subnetted (VLSM)
- On Cisco routers, RIP sends v1 messages by default but can receive both RIPv1 and RIPv2
- RIPv2 automatically summarizes networks to the classful boundary
- To use discontiguous subnets and VLSM with RIPv2, use the “no auto-summary” command
