running 2 routers joined together by a T1 with ppp riding the rails.
net1 192.168.1.1 mask 255.255.255.0
net2 10.1.1.1 mask 255.255.255.0
RIP is running at both ends with the networks put into the databases at both ends.
RIP does not update the tables.
Someone is insisting that there must be a common network on both routers.
Bushwa, RIP broadcasts updates to port 520 listens on port 521 the broadcasts go out all interfaces, if the RIP knows about the other network because it is in the database, it should update. Update, it wont even route. Checked the RFC, mention of common network is not there. Went to the cisco rip reference, no mention of common networks, jagoff insists that there has to be.
Anyone else know the answer or have an opinion?
RIP is almost identical to the behavior of the bsd routed command.

(not cisco) who doesnt unnerstand the concept of IP networks atall. Just wanted a sanity check.
thanx,

2 routers a T1 serial interface encapped ppp betwee them, RIPv2 is enabled on bothsides. Need to reconfigure a couple of ciscos cause I am sure they can do this. Although it prolly doesnt matte much because RIP is kinda falling away as OSPF and BGP are more prominent in large networks. Besides why have all that spamming every 30 seconds.
thanx,
