Event ID 30056 — RRAS RIP Enabling

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. You need to ensure that each router has RIP version 2 enabled so that the RIP-based route announcements are sent and received by all RIP routers on the network.

Event Details

Resolve

Change the parameter value to be in the valid range or reinstall RIP interface

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

Open the Registry Editor and check the values for registry keys associated with RIP.

Change parameter values

To change parameter values:

1. Right-click each registry key, and then click Permissions. If the System account does not have read/write permissions for the key, add them.
2. Right-click the registry parameter, click Modify, change the value data, and then click OK.

The following are the parameters associated with RIP:

AcceptDefaultRoutes

• Range = 0 or 1
• Default = 0
• If set to 1, default routes in received RIP announcements are accepted. By default, they are ignored.

AcceptHostRoutes

• Range = 0 or 1
• Default = 0
• If set to 1, host routes in received RIP announcements are accepted. By default, they are ignored.

AnnounceDefaultRoutes

• Range = 0 or 1
• Default = 0
• If set to 1, default routes are included in RIP announcements.

AnnounceHostRoutes

• Range = 0 or 1
• Default = 0
• If set to 1, host routes are included in RIP announcements.

EnablePoisonedReverse

• Range = 0 or 1
• Default = 1
• By default, if a RIP announcement contains a route that was previously advertised by that route, then that route is announced on the network with a metric of 16.

EnableSplitHorizon

• Range = 0 or 1
• Default = 1
• By default, routes learned on a network are suppressed in updates sent on that network. If the parameter is set to 0, routes learned on a network are announced on the same network.

EnableTriggeredUpdates

• Range = 0 or 1
• Default = 1
• By default, new routes and metric changes trigger an immediate update that includes only the changes. The time between updates depends on the value of MaxTriggeredUpdateFrequency.

GarbageTimeout

• Range = 15 seconds - 259200 seconds (72 hours)
• Default = 120 seconds
• The number of seconds to wait before removing a route marked for garbage collection.

LoggingLevel

• Range = 0 - 3
• Default = 1
• The minimum level of information for entries being made to the system log; 0 = no logging, 1 = errors, 2 = warnings, 3 = information.

MaxTriggeredUpdateFrequency

• Range = 1 second - 884400 seconds (24 hours)
• Default = 5 seconds
• The minimum number of seconds that must elapse between triggered updates.

RouteTimeout

• Range = 15 seconds - 259200 seconds (72 hours)
• Default = 180 seconds
• The number of seconds to wait before marking a route for garbage collection.

SilentRip

• Range = 0 or 1
• Default = 0
• If set to 1, suppresses periodic RIP announcements.

UpdateFrequency

• Range = 15 seconds - 884400 seconds (24 hours)
• Default = 30 seconds
• The number of seconds between periodic updates that contain the entire routing table. This entry also determines the period at which the route table is updated from received RIP updates.

If the error persists, remove and reinstall the interface under RIP.

Reinstall the RIP interface

To reinstall the RIP interface:

1. Open Routing and Remote Access. Click Start, click Run, type rrasmgmt.msc, and then press ENTER.
2. In the console tree, expand IPv4, and then click RIP.
3. In the details pane, right-click the interface to delete, and then click Delete.
4. In the console tree, right-click RIP, and then click New Interface.
5. Select an interface, and then click OK.
6. Configure RIP settings, and then click OK.

Verify

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

To verify that the route has been added:

• Stop and restart the Routing and Remote Access service.
  1. Click Start, click Run, type rrasmgmt.msc, and then press ENTER.
  2. Open Routing and Remote Access.
  3. In the console tree, click Server Status.
  4. In the details pane, right-click a server name, point to All Tasks, and click Restart.
• View the routing table. In the Routing and Remote Access snap-in, expand IPv4 or IPv6, right-click Static Routes, and then click Show IP Routing Table.
• Verify that the route has been added.
