RIPv1 supports host routes (/32).

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1058.html

<RFC_1058>
  The RIP packet formats do not distinguish among various types of
  address. Fields that are labeled "address" can contain any of the
  following:
     host address
     subnet number
     network number
     0, indicating a default route
</RFC_1058>

Subject: RIP ver 1 host route?

Hi All,

Does anyone know under what circumstances RIP ver 1 would advertise a
host
(/32) route?

I have RIP running between 2 routers A and B, but router A seems to be
advertising a 32 bit route to router B aswell as a 24 bit. The network
segment
that connects router A and router B is a /24 address.

I cant understand why its doing this, can someone please throw some
light on
this?

Many thanks in advance.

Mohammad
