Question

Why Is Rip V1 Insecure In A Network?

Answer 1

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest routing protocols used by routers within a small geographic location to find routes to various networks within an internetwork. In this article I'll provide you with the details of RIP's operation, drawbacks and improvements. I will put emphasis on enabling and configuring RIP with the help of a three router internetwork example.

RIP version 2 is the successor of RIP version 1; it was designed to resolve the great limitations of RIP version 1. Today I will concentrate on RIPv1 and in my next article I'll focus the newer version of RIP, RIPv2, both of which are covered in the CCENT exam objectives.
