UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
RIP.001 bd ver version_number frm hst source_IP_address
Long Syntax:
RIP.001 bad version version_number received from host source_IP_address
Description:
The version field in the RIP header did not match the current version.
Cause:
This is probably caused by an error in the source host.
Action:
Contact the manufacturer of the source host and report the problem.

RIP.002

Level:
U-TRACE
Short Syntax:
RIP.002 rq frm source_IP_address
Long Syntax:

Level:
U-INFO
Short Syntax:
RIP.003 trc on tracing_file frm source_IP_address
Long Syntax:
RIP.003 trace on to tracing_file received from host source_IP_address

Level:
U-INFO
Short Syntax:
RIP.004 trc off frm source_IP_address
Long Syntax:
RIP.004 trace off received from host source_IP_address
Description:
A request from a host to turn RIP tracing off was received. The router ignores this request.

Level:
C-TRACE
Short Syntax:
RIP.005 rsp frm source_IP_address
Long Syntax:
RIP.005 response received from host source_IP_address
Description:
A RIP routing table update was received. Note that it may take more than one response packet to transmit the entire routing table, especially if the routing table is large.

RIP.006

Level:
UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
RIP.006 bd cmd command_code frm source_IP_address
Long Syntax:
RIP.006 bad command code command_code received from host source_IP_address
Description:
A RIP message was received with an unrecognized command code.
Cause:
This is probably caused by an error or out of date software in the source host.
Action:
Contact the manufacturer of the source host and report the problem.

RIP.007

Level:
UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
RIP.007 rsp frm off nt source_IP_address
Long Syntax:
RIP.007 response received from off network host source_IP_address
Description:
A RIP routing update response was received from a machine which was not directly attached to the network the response came in on. The packet is discarded.
Cause:
Since normal RIP software is generally written to send data only to connected nets, this is probably indicative of a hostile event.
Action:
Examine audit trails and other information to determine the original source host.

RIP.008

Level:
UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
RIP.008 sbnt rt destination_IP_network non-subnt intfc hst next_hop_IP_address

RIP.008 subnet route destination_IP_network on non-subnetted interface from host next_hop_IP_address
Description:
An apparent subnet route (i.e. the 'rest' field of the Internet address contained non-zero data) was received over an interface that is not marked as subnetted in the router.

This is probably caused by incorrect configuration, either in the router or in the host sending the traffic.
Action:
Correct the incorrect configuration.

U-TRACE
Short Syntax:
RIP.009 dyn rt to destination_IP_network frm next_hop_IP_address dis
Long Syntax:
RIP.009 dynamic route to destination_IP_network from next_hop_IP_address disallowed

Short Syntax:
RIP.026 bad next hop nexthop_IP_address from source_IP_address
Long Syntax:
RIP.026 non existent next hop nexthop_IP_address is received from source_IP_address

RIP.039 rej req on IP_address , net Network
Long Syntax:
RIP.039 reject request received on IP_address , net Network

Long Syntax:
RIP.040 bad rip_packet_type, , error= formatting_error frm host source_IP_address
Description:
A RIP packet (request), is badly formatted, and is discarded, or the routing entry is discarded. For rsp (response) packets, the possible formatting errors are: (1) length, in which case the length of the RIP part of the packet was greater than 512, or the length was not a multiple of the RIP routing entry size (20 bytes); (2) srcport, which means that the source UDP port was not 520, (3) must-be-zero, which means version 1 updates must-be-zero fields were not zero. For rq (request) packets, the possible formatting errors are: (1) metric, in which case the metric was not 16.
Cause:
This is probably caused by an error in the source host.

Cause:
The interface has come down or the peer is not responding to our triggerd RIP messages.
Panic
