Thanks for the reassurance that this is not too complicated for RIP. That was my thinking as well, but when it wasn't working I began to worry. As I was preparing additional information to clarify the problem, I noticed that routed uses RIPv1 by default. Switching on RIPv2 makes everything work as expected. Why would one want to use RIPv1 anyway? Is there a reason it is the default? Sorry about bothering the list with this, but perhaps someone else will make a similar mistake. Along those lines, would it be valuable to include an example gateways file in, for example, /usr/share/examples/routed? Cheers, Brook
