Lab 10‐1 Packet Tracer ‐ RIP Lab - benjamintyler367/NET-150-Journal GitHub Wiki

In this lab we learned how to configure and use RIP route v2. We started with a pre-made network and routed everything using rip route instead of static route. I like this a lot more due to the fact that it is a lot less manual work therefore it takes less time to complete. Commands that were important that were used in this lab is that config show ip route. I did not have any problems with this lab, the instructions were correct and worked properly.

Instructions that will be useful in the future.

Configuring RIP involves

Enabling it on the router
and, declaring which of the directly connected networks should be advertised

Here is the configuration for R2 in our example:

From "config" mode type:

    router rip

This will now put you in "router config mode"
Then specify the version with

    version 2

And then specify the networks directly connected to the router

    EX: network 192.168.30.0

    EX: network 10.10.20.0

Thats it!

Repeat Step 2 for other routers

Make sure to update the network statements to specify the correct networks for those routers!

If it is working, all PC's should now be able to ping one another

Inspect RIP Activity instructions

1. In Packet Tracer - switch to "Simulation Mode" (Stopwatch icon in Lower Left)
2. Under Event List Filters - Visible Event - Click Show All/None
3. Then click Edit Filters - and Select RIP
4. Click the "Capture/Forward" button in the lower center of the screen repeatedly. You should see RIP packets traversing the network.
5. In the upper right Event List - find a packet for RIPv2 from R1 to R2
6. Click the colored "info" box to display the packet details.
7. Click the Inbound PDU Details tab
8. Scroll down to RIP v2 section
