Packet Tracer Class Lab - Understanding RIP

This Packet Tracer lab has been provided to help you 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.

Objective

• Review basic router and switch configuration.
• Enable RIPv2 on a router.
• Advertise networks using RIPv2.
• Observe and inspect RIPv2 Packets

Summary

Using a premade network in Packet Tracer, in this lab I configured the routers to be version 2 and specified what networks are connected to the router. To make sure it is working for all routers, I then inspected the RIPv2 packets sent by the routers to each other. To configure RIPv2 on a router in CISCO Packet Tracer, select a router and move to the CLI (Command Line Interface) tab. In there, type 'router rip' which will put you in router config mode. Then type 'version 2', which will change the router version. Lastly, specify what networks are connected to the router with this command 'network X.X.X.X'. That's all that needs to be done to configure the router version 2! Some troubleshooting I had to do was making sure the correct IP address was on the correct Serial ports. As I accidently switched the IP addresses on a router which caused packets not to be able to reach the connected machines or the router itself.

Things to Consider:

• Add an entry for configuring RIPv2 on Cisco
• Include any troubleshooting steps you had to take
