Lab 10.1 Packet Tracer RIP Lab - Hsanokklis/2022-2023-Tech-journal GitHub Wiki
Summary: gain a better understanding of how to configure and troubleshoot RIP version 2 in this lab we will configure a basic lab topology, enable RIPv2 on the routers and configure them to advertise their networks.
- Review basic router and switch configuration.
- Enable RIPv2 on a router.
- Advertise networks using RIPv2.
- Observe and inspect RIPv2 Packets
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols, which uses the hop count as a routing metric. RIP avoids routing loops by employing a limit on the number of hops permitted in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum number of hops permitted for RIP is 15. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance, in other words the route is considered unreachable. Despite this limitation, RIP works great for basic route communications between devices.
- Cisco routers don't enable RIPv2 by default. To use RIPv2, you must use the ver 2 command in RIP Router Configuration Mode.
- RIP uses hop count as itโs metric.
- Using the same starter Packet Tracer File Download Packet Tracer Filefrom the "Static Route" lab, we will now configure the network using RIP. This means that the routers will learn about neighboring routers and network through RIP Broadcasts
2. Configuring RIP on routers
ena is enable
config t is configure terminal
you might need to type in these commands to configure the routers
Router2
- In CLI type in router rip
- The type in version 2
- specify network connected to the router (network 192.168.30.0 and network 10.10.20.0)
Router1
- router rip
- version 2
- network 192.168.20.0
- network 10.10.10.0
- network 10.10.20.0
Router3
- router rip
- version 2
- network 192.168.10.0
- network 10.10.10.0
Your Devices should all be able to ping each other now!
3. Go to R2, exit "config" mode, and type "show ip route".
exit gets you out of config mode
- show ip route
Router1
- exit
- show IP route
Router3
- exit
- show ip route
Inspect RIP Activity
1. In Packet Tracer - switch to "Simulation Mode"
2. Under Event List Filters - Visible Event - Click Show All/None
3. Then click Edit Filters - and Select RIP
In the upper right Event List - find a packet for RIPv2 from R1 to R2
4. Scroll down to RIP v2 section
- Describe what is included in the packet details for the RIP v2 protocol section
The packet includes the network address, subnet mask, next hop and metric(hop count), Address family(which address is being broadcasted, 2 is IP)
- Find a pack from R3 to R1
- Describe what is included in the packet details for the RIP v2 protocol section
The packet includes the network address, subnet mask, next hop and metric(hop count), Address family(which address is being broadcasted, 2 is IP)
