Note on Classful Routing Protocols, RIPv1 limitations The first part of this presentation discusses the limitations of classful routing protocols such as RIPv1. RIPv1 is used as an example, so we can see how RIPv2 a classless routing protocol does not have these same limitations. Classful routing protocols have three major limitations: Does not support discontiguous networks. Does not support VLSM. Does not support CIDR. Instead of just “memorizing” these facts, we will demonstrate and “understand” why a classful routing protocol has these limitati.
