Configuring a Network Running RIPv1 and RIPv2
Lab Objectives
This lab requires existing configurations found here.
- Configure RIP according to the network diagram above.
- Enable routers 1 and 4 to send and receive RIPv1 and RIPv2 updates.
- Configure RIPv2 to use broadcast updating instead of multicast.
- Configure router 4 to send a default router to routers 5 and 6 via RIP.
Completed Router Configurations
The following are the completed configurations for the routers in this lab.
Router 1 Config
Router 2 Config
Router 3 Config
Router 4 Config
Router 5 Config
Router 6 Config
Changes Made
The following are the changes made to the network to complete the lab.
- RIPv1 was Configured on routers 4, 5, and 6. RIPv2 was configured on routers 1, 2, and 3.
- Routers 1 and 4 were configured with the following commands.
3. Configured RIPv2 to use broadcast updating by issuing the 'ip rip v2 broadcast' on all interfaces in the RIPv2 network.
4. Configured router 4 to send routers 5 and 6 a default route through RIP by issuing the following command on router 4 -
4. Configured router 4 to send routers 5 and 6 a default route through RIP by issuing the following command on router 4 -
Testing and Verifying
Once the lab is completed the following steps should be done to verify the lab is operational.
- Pings from router 3 to router 5's s0/0 interface should be successful.
- Pings from router 2 to router 6's s0/1 interface should be successful.
- Verify RIPv2 is broadcasting updates by issuing the 'debug ip rip events' on router 1 command and looking for the following output -
4. Verify routers 5 and 6 have received the default route through rip from router 4 by checking the routing table and looking for the
following -
following -
Notice the * next to the R indicating that this is a default route which was learned from RIP via 192.168.3.5, which is router 4.
