RIP Configuration

In this module we will learn how to configure RIP (version 2) in cisco routers.
I have used a very simple network architecture to demonstrate the configuration, as shown below.
Try to create similar network using Packet Tracer tool and configure the router using the commands as shown in the picture.

CONFIGURATION

R1:
First we assigned ip addresses to the serial and fast Ethernet interfaces and then set clock rate for serial link followed by no shutdown command.
After assigning ip addresses to the interfaces, "Router RIP" command is used to configure RIP. Then you select the version number (RIP Protocol has two version i.e. Version 1 and Version 2).
Then you select the network where you want the RIP Protocols to flow.

R2:
R2 configuration is similar to R1 configuration

VERIFICATION:

To check dynamic routing protocols:
Router# sh ip protocols

Show commands:
Router# sh ip RIP

*you can use other commands, explained in previous posts, to verify configuration.

Note: RIP considers only the distance and direction for routing. Since it was not efficient, IGRP came up as it considered bandwidth , distance , load , delay and other factors.
We will discuss IGRP configuration in the next module.

Hope you enjoyed reading this post. Thank you !
