Advanced Routing Services (OSPF and RIP)
In addition to Policy Based Routing and RIP advertising, SonicOS Enhanced offers the option
of enabling Advanced Routing Services (ARS). Advanced Routing Services provides full
advertising and listening support for the Routing Information Protocol (RIPv1 - RFC1058) and
(RIPv2 - RFC2453), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 – RFC2328). Advanced Routing
Service should only be enabled by those environments requiring support for either or both of
these dynamic routing protocols.

RIP and OSPF are Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) that are both widely used by networks of
various sizes to automate the process of route distribution. RIP is commonly used within
smaller networks, while OSPF is used by larger networks, although network size should not be
the only factor used to determine the appropriateness of one protocol over the other – network
speed, interoperability requirements, and relative overall complexity, for example, should also
be considered. RIPv1 and RIPv2 are both supported by ARS, the largest differences between
the two being that RIPv2 supports VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masks), authentication, and
routing updates. The following table illustrates the major differences between RIPv1, RIPv2,
and OSPFv2:
