That doesn't look like one of our messages. The closest I can find in
our code is:
discard RIP response; source 1.1.1.11 not on interface nxge0
But the message in our code is passed through the in.routed msglim()
function, which is supposed to limit on a per-source basis to one
message per hour, and not "continuously."
Is that what you're actually seeing? If so, then it means that you're
receiving RIP traffic from a surprising source. I don't know enough
about your network to diagnose it completely, but possible causes
include:
- A misconfigured subnet mask on this machine or on some other
machine
- A missing (on purpose?) logical interface for a separate subnet on
the same physical network
- A remote (but unskilled) attacker attempting to inject routes into
your system
- An accidental connection of a bridge between two distinct subnets
- A misconfigured router (e.g., one with an interface still sporting
an old IP address after having renumbered everyone else)
