RIP PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION IN CISCO PACKET                                               TRACER

The Routing Information Protocol, or RIP, as it is more commonly called, is one of the most enduring of all routing protocols. It is distance-vector routing protocol that uses hop count as the metric for path selection. When RIP is enabled on an interface, the interface exchanges RIP broadcasts with neighboring devices to dynamically learn about and advertise routes.

RIP uses broadcast UDP data packets to exchange routing information. Cisco software sends routing information updates every 30 seconds. If a device does not receive an update from another device for 180 seconds or more, the receiving device marks the routes served by the non routing devices as unusable. If there is still no update after 240 seconds, the device removes all routing table entries for the non updating devices.

RIP configuration for router 1

                                                           RIP configuration for router 2

CONFIGURATION:

Router>en

Router#config t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#int gig 0/1

Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.100.1

% Incomplete command.

Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0

Router(config-if)#no shut

Router(config-if)#

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up

Router(config-if)#exit

Router(config)#int se 0/1/0

Router(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.10 255.0.0.0

Router(config-if)#no shut

Router(config-if)#

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/1/0, changed state to up

Router(config-if)#ip route 192.168.200.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.20

Router(config)#exit

Repeat the above steps for 2nd router also.
