I am receiving the 10.1.0./16 route from 12.0.0.1 via the interface Serial0. not sure what 0.0.0.0 is about!

0:13:37: RIP: received v2 update from 12.0.0.1 on Serial0

00:13:37: 10.1.0.0/16 via 0.0.0.0 in 1 hops

Hello Francisco,

it looks like you receive 10.1/16 prefix from 12.0.0.1 via 12.0.0.1 itself.

RIP could be able to perform some form of third party next-hop like advertise 10.1/16 from 12.0.0.1 with a next-hop of 12.0.0.3

using 0.0.0.0 could be a way to say send to the update's sender traffic for net 10.1/16. that is the normal case where next-hop = update's sender

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hello Francisco,

I can confirm that RIPv2 has a next-hop field in the data structure for each prefix.

RIPv1 doesn't support this like it doesn't support route tags.

Hope to help
