Event ID 30021 — RRAS RIP Packet Discarding

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

A Router Information Protocol (RIP) for IP environment automatically adds and removes routes as networks are added and removed from the network. If the router is discarding RIP packets, RIP configuration with peer routers might fail.

Event Details

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 30021
Source: Microsoft-Windows-RasRoutingProtocols-IPRIP2
Version: 6.1
Symbolic Name: IPRIPLOG_PACKET_TOO_SMALL
Message: IPRIPv2 received a packet which was smaller than the minimum size allowed for IPRIP packets. The packet has been discarded. It was received on the local interface with IP address: %1, and it came from the neighboring router with IP address : %2.

Resolve

Configure the router to receive packets from the neighboring router or configure authentication settings

Verify

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To verify that the RTM route has been added:
