Distance Vector Routing Protocols
–The Meaning of Distance Vector:
•A router using distance vector routing protocols knows 2 things:
Distance to final destination
Vector, or direction, traffic should be directed

Characteristics of Distance Vector routing protocols:
Periodic updates
Neighbors
Broadcast updates
Entire routing table is included with routing update

Network Discovery Router initial start up (Cold Starts)
-Initial network discovery
Directly connected networks are initially placed in routing table
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 9© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Initial Exchange of Routing Information
–If a routing protocol is configured then Routers will exchange routing information
Routing updates received from other routers
-Router checks update for new information
If there is new information:
-Metric is updated
-New information is stored in routing table
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 10© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Exchange of Routing Information
–Router convergence is reached when
-All routing tables in the network contain the same network information
–Routers continue to exchange routing information
-If no new information is found then Convergence is reached
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 11© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Network Discovery
Convergence must be reached before a network is considered completely operable
Speed of achieving convergence consists of 2 interdependent categories
-Speed of broadcasting routing information
-Speed of calculating routes
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 12© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Table Maintenance Periodic Updates: RIPv1 & RIPv2
These are time intervals in which a router sends out its entire routing table.
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 13© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Table Maintenance RIP uses 4 timers
-Update timer – When is next update due
-Invalid timer - How long to wait before marking as invalid route
-Holddown timer - stabilizes routing information and helps prevent routing loops
-Flush timer -When to remove from routing table
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 14© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Bounded Updates: EIGRP EIGRP is “hybrid”distance vector
EIRPG routing updates are
-Partial updates
-Triggered by topology changes
-Bounded
-Non periodic
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 15© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Triggered Updates
–Conditions in which triggered updates are sent
-Interface changes state
-Route becomes unreachable
-Route is placed in routing table
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 17© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Loops
Routing loops are
A condition in which a packet is continuously transmitted within a series of routers without ever reaching its destination.
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 18© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Loops
Routing loops may be caused by:
-Incorrectly configured static routes
-Incorrectly configured route redistribution
-Slow convergence
-Incorrectly configured discard routes
Routing loops can create the following issues
-Excess use of bandwidth
-CPU resources may be strained
-Network convergence is degraded
-Routing updates may be lost or not processed in a timely manner
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 19© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Loops Count to Infinity
This is a routing loop whereby packets bounce infinitely around a network.
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 20© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Loops- Setting a maximum Distance Vector routing protocols set a specified
metric value to indicate infinity
Once a router “counts to infinity” it marks the route as unreachable
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 21© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Loops Preventing loops with holddown timers
-Holddown timers allow a router to not accept any changes to a route for a specified period of time.
-Point of using holddown timersAllows routing updates to propagate through network with the most current information.
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 22© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Loops - Split Horizon rule: The Split Horizon Rule is used to prevent routing loops
A router should not advertise a network through the interface from which the update came.
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 23© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Split horizon with poison reverse
The rule states that once a router learns of an unreachable route through an interface, advertise it as unreachable back through the same interface
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 24© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Routing Loops IP & TTL
–Purpose of the TTL field
The TTL field is found in an IP header and is used to prevent packets from endlessly
traveling on a network
How the TTL field works
-TTL field contains a numeric value
The numeric value is decreased by one by every router on the route to the destination.
If numeric value reaches 0 then Packet is discarded.

RIP version 1
Routing Protocols and Concepts
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 29© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
RIPv1
RIP Characteristics
-A classful, Distance Vector (DV) routing protocol
-Metric = hop count
-Routes with a hop count > 15 are unreachable
-Updates are broadcast every 30 seconds
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 30© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
RIPv1 Message Format
• Command field – 1 for Request. 2 for Reply
• Version field – 1 or 2
• Address family identifier – 2 for IP
• IP address- Address of destination
• Metric – Hop Count
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 31© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
RIP Operation - Messages
RIP uses 2 message types:
Request message
-This is sent out on startup by each RIP enabled interface
-Requests all RIP enabled neighbors to send routing table
Response message
-Message sent to requesting router containing routing table
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 32© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
RIPv1
IP addresses initially divided into classes
-Class A
-Class B
-Class C
RIP is a classful routing protocol
-Does not send subnet masks in routing updates

Basic RIPv1 Configuration Router RIP Command
–To enable RIP enter:
-Router rip at the global configuration prompt
-Prompt will look like R1(config-router)#
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 35© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Basic RIPv1 Configuration
Specifying Networks
Use the network command to:
Enable RIP on all interfaces that belong to this network
Advertise this network in RIP updates sent to other routers every 30 seconds
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 36© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Verification and Troubleshooting
Use the following commands:
-show ip route
-show ip protocols
-debug ip rip
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 37© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Verification and Troubleshooting
show ip protocols command

Automatic Summarization The original scenario has
been modified such that:Three classful networks are used:
172.30.0.0/16
192.168.4.0/24
192.168.5.0/24
The 172.30.0.0/16 network is subnetted into three subnets:
172.30.1.0/24
172.30.2.0/24
172.30.3.0/24
The following devices are part of the 172.30.0.0/16 classful network address:All interfaces on R1S0/0/0 and Fa0/0 on R2

Remove old RIP Configs-To remove the
RIP routing process use the following
No router rip

Automatic Summarization Boundary Routers
–RIP automatically summarizes classful networks
–Boundary routers summarize RIP subnets from one major network to another.
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 44© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Processing RIP Updates 2 Rules govern RIPv1 updates:
If a routing update and the interface it’s received on belong to the same network then the subnet mask of the interface is applied to the network in the routing update
If a routing update and the interface it’s received on belong to a different network then the classful subnet mask of the network is applied to the network in the routing update.

Automatic Summarization
Advantages of automatic summarization:
-The size of routing updates is reduced
-Single routes are used to represent multiple routes which results in faster lookup in the routing table.
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 46© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Disadvantage of Automatic Summarization:
Does not support discontiguous networks
Automatic Summarization
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 47© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Automatic Summarization
Discontiguous Topologies do not converge with RIPv1
A router will only advertise major network addresses out interfaces that do not belong to the advertised route.
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 48© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Default Route and RIPv1
On R2 we have a default route pointing to R3. If we want all the routers in the 172.130.0.0 network to know about this default router we use the
Default-information originate command -This command is used to specify that the router is to originate default information, by propagating the static default route in RIP update.

Summary
RIP characteristics include:
Classful, distance vector routing protocol
Metric is Hop Count
Does not support VLSM or discontiguous subnets

Summary Characteristics of Distance Vector routing
protocols–Periodic updates
–RIP routing updates include the entire routing table
–Neighbors are defined as routers that share a link and are configured to use the same protocol
The network discovery process for D.V. routing protocol
–Directly connected routes are placed in routing table 1st
–If a routing protocol is configured then
•Routers will exchange routing information
–Convergence is reached when all network routers have the
same network information
ITE PC v4.0Chapter 1 53© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Summary D.V. routing protocols maintains routing tables by
–RIP sending out periodic updates
–RIP using 4 different timers to ensure information is accurate and convergence is achieved in a timely manner
