Difference between RIPv1 and RIPv2

RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol and it does not support VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking). RIPv2 is classless routing and it support VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking). RIPv2 has the option for network mask in the update to allow classless routing advertisements.


RIPv2 the updates are sent as multicast In RIPv2, it is sent as broadcast. This feature reduces the network traffic. The multicast address RIPv2  is 224.0.0.9.

RIPv2 supports authentication. Authentication helps in confirming that the updates are coming from authorized sources.

    1. what is trigger update mean

      Delete
    2. Triggered update means it sends update only when something is up or down in the network unlike ripv1, ripv1 sends update every 30sec.

    3. RIPV1 still support trigger updates.

  6. hop count limit is 15 in both RIPv1 and RIPv2

  7. if ripv1 and ripv2 both implement on same router than which is used to decide route

  8. RIPv2
    Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2), was a common LAN routing protocol in the '90s, but is rapidly fading away in production networks. RIPv2 suffered from scalability issues due to a relatively low maximum hop count of 15 routing devices. Compared to more modern dynamic routing protocols, RIPv2's methods for selecting optimal routes and the substantial convergence time it takes to recalculate paths renders it nearly obsolete. Today, the only reason you might run across a network running RIPv2 is either that the network is very old and in serious need of an upgrade or the network is running cheaper, consumer-grade routing hardware that can only support RIP

  9. RIPv1 does not support CIDR.
    RIPv2 support CIDR.

  10. RIPv1 does not support authentication while RIPv2 does.
    RIPv1 sends update as broadcast while RIPv2 sends as multicast.

  11. Ok. What about clasless and classfull networks differnts?!

    ReplyDelete
  12. classfull means , it doesn't send the cidr with network in their periodic update
    classless means , it send the cidr with network in their periodic update

  16. Standard number in Ripv1 is RFC 1058
    In Ripv2 it is RFC 1723
