Adam I didn't even think about "redistributed connected" with route maps in my 
last post but that's another excellent way to advertise without using network 
statements. :)

Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] RIP(validate source update)

Hi Piyush,

"no validate source update" is applied to a RIP reciever and is used to accept 
routes from a RIP neighbor that is not in your interfaces subnet.  Other RIP 
neighbors do not necessarily require it.  The most typical application I know 
of is running RIP on a PPP interface that learns its IP address through IPCP 
(it installs it's IP address as a host route, ignoring the network mask of the 
peer) In order for it to accept the routes, it needs the no validate source 
update since the host route has a prefix length of 32 and the other end of the 
PPP link will not appear to be in that network.

1) No validate update source wont work there (I described the main use above) 
but one possibility is to redistribute connected and put in a routemap that 
matches your loopbacks address if neccesary (assuming you are trying to not use 
network statements)
2) I'm not sure about this and will leave it to others to answer but I'm pretty 
sure it occurs when you have RIP running on a loopback interface, the router 
doesn't need to listen to its own updates.

Cheers,
Adam

Hi All,
I have 2 questions on RIP,
1) When i enable no validate source update on the router is it necessary to 
enable it on the other end for e.g if two router R1 and R2 are peering and 
running RIPv2, R1 has 10 loopbacks configured, can i get them propagted to R2 
without including the network statement on R1. Can i do it by enabling no 
validate source update?/????
2) When we debug ip rip events and we see suppressing null update , what does 
that mean and what is the significance?

Hoping to hear from you.
