RIPv2 Auto-summary
I was doing one of the INE workbook exercises where the task was simple enough, re-enable auto-summary for RIP and observe the changes to what is advertised. I couldnt get my head around a few things. Here is the output of the interfaces and RIP config:
Ethernet0/1.45 155.1.45.4 YES TFTP up up
Loopback0 150.1.4.4 YES TFTP up up
Tunnel0 155.1.0.4 YES TFTP up up
router rip
version 2
network 150.1.0.0
network 155.1.0.0
no auto-summary
Now once auto-summary is re-enabled the debug output is below as well as the explanation from INE but what i cant understand is:
the 150.1.4.4/32 route changed after auto-summary was enabled, but why did the 155.1.0.0/24 route stay the same and not change to a /16 address
Before auto-summary is enabled:

Because R4's Ethernet interface on VLAN 146 is disabled, there are no RIP updates sent or received on the interface.

Auto-summarization only happens when crossing a classful boundary, which isn't being done on G1.45 for the 155.x.x.x network.
Create a G1.54 interface between R4 and R5, put them in a 156.1.45.x/24 subnet and enable RIP and you'd see the 155 network get summarized when being sent out the 1.54 interface then.Latest Completed: CISSP
