Troubleshooting RIP v2

Troubleshooting RIP v2
1.2.6 This page explains the use of the debug ip rip command.
Use the debug ip rip command to display RIP routing updates as they are sent and received. The no debug all or undebug all commands will turn off all debugging.
The example shows that the router being debugged has received updates from one router at source address 10.1.1.2. The router at source address 10.1.1.2 sent information about two destinations in the routing table update. The router being debugged also sent updates, in both cases to the multicast address 224.0.0.9 as the destination. The number in parentheses is the source address encapsulated into the IP header.
Other outputs sometimes seen from the debug ip rip command includes entries such as the following:

RIP: broadcasting general request on Ethernet0

RIP: broadcasting general request on Ethernet1

These outputs appear at startup or when an event occurs such as an interface transition or a user manually clears the routing table.
An entry, such as the following, is most likely caused by a malformed packet from the transmitter:

RIP: bad version 128 from 160.89.80.43

Examples of debug ip rip outputs and meanings are shown in Figure .
The Lab Activities will help students become more familiar with debug commands.

OSI layers / Peer-to-peer communications / TCP/IP model

OSI layers 2.3.4 This page discusses the seven layers of the OSI model. The OSI reference model is a framework that is used to understand how information travels throughout a network. The OSI reference model explains how packets travel through the various layers to another device on a network, even if the sender and destination have different types of network media. In the OSI reference model, there are seven numbered layers, each of which illustrates a particular network function. - Dividing the network into seven layers provides the following advantages: • It breaks network communication into smaller, more manageable parts. • It standardizes network components to allow multiple vendor development and support. • It allows different types of network hardware and software to communicate with each other. • It prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers. • It divides network communication into smaller parts to make learning it easier to understand. In the foll...

Advantages and disadvantages of link-state routing

Advantages and disadvantages of link-state routing 2.1.5 This page lists the advantages and disadvantages of link-state routing protocols. The following are advantages of link-state routing protocols: Link-state protocols use cost metrics to choose paths through the network. The cost metric reflects the capacity of the links on those paths. Link-state protocols use triggered updates and LSA floods to immediately report changes in the network topology to all routers in the network. This leads to fast convergence times. Each router has a complete and synchronized picture of the network. Therefore, it is very difficult for routing loops to occur. Routers use the latest information to make the best routing decisions. The link-state database sizes can be minimized with careful network design. This leads to smaller Dijkstra calculations and faster convergence. Every router, at the very least, maps the topology of it...

• Backplane – A backplane is an electronic circuit board containing circuitry and sockets into which additional electronic devices on other circuit boards or cards can be plugged; in a computer, generally synonymous with or part of the motherboard. • Network interface card (NIC) – An expansion board inserted into a computer so that the computer can be connected to a network. • Video card – A board that plugs into a PC to give it display capabilities. • Audio card – An expansion board that enables a computer to manipulate and output sounds. • Parallel port – An interface capable of transferring more than one bit simultaneously that is used to connect external devices such as printers. • Serial port – An interface that can be used for serial communication in which only one bit is transmitted at a time. • Mouse port – A port used to connect a mouse to a PC. • USB port – A Universal Serial Bus connector. A USB port connects devices such as a mouse or printer to the computer ...
