Lab 5 RIP Configuration

This document provides instructions for a lab activity on configuring RIP routing on a packet tracer network. Students will enable RIP routing on routers, assign IP addresses, and test connectivity with and without an interface enabled. The objectives are to learn how to configure RIP routing, observe how the routing table changes when network topology changes, and use debug commands to troubleshoot RIP. Students will submit a PDF document with their results.

COMP404: Computer Network and Communications

Lab 5: RIP Configuration

Due date: 24th or 25th January 2016 (at your LAB time)

Learning Objective:
1. Configuring a router with RIP routing protocol.
2. Simulating network topology change by disabling an interface
3. Debugging RIP protocol

Prerequisite:
1. Unit07 from Lecture Notes (See Piazza)

Network Diagram

IP Subnet Addressing Requirements


You will use the same IP Subnet Design that you used for Lab#4. Copy and paste Table#1
from Lab#4 Answer document here.

IP Address Assignment
Also you will use the same IP Address plan that you used for Lab#4. Copy and paste Table#2
from your Lab#4 Answer document here.

Configure Network and Test without RIP


1. Start your packet tracer and design the network topology above. You may re-use your
lab#4 packet tracer file.
2. Make sure all interfaces have IP address according to Table#2. DO NOT configure any static
routing.
3. Execute show ip route on each router and paste results here. Make sure no static route
has been configured.

Enable RIP on router R1


1. The first step is to activate RIP process inside the router. Generally, you can activate at
most ONE RIP process at any given time. The command to activate RIP process is:

R1(config)#router rip

2. Enable RIP version 2 by typing the following command:

R1(config-router)#version 2

3. Finally, you need to tell RIP process what networks need to be advertised. Once you tell the
RIP process about the networks, it will construct a vector table (as discussed in the class)
and then send the table to all its neighbors.

Now look at the network diagram. You will see that R1 is directly connected to 3 subnets
(Link1, link2 and subnet A). Therefore, we type:

R1(config-router)#network 200.254.9.192
R1(config-router)#network 200.254.9.196
R1(config-router)#network 200.254.9.160

In my subnet plan, link 1 has subnet address 200.254.9.192, link 2 has subnet address
200.254.9.196 and subnet A has subnet address 200.254.9.160

Lab Activity
1. Now enable RIP routing process on each of the remaining routers (R2, R3, …, R6). Be sure
you specify version 2 of the RIP protocol on each router and include network statements
that cover all subnets directly connected to that router.
2. Execute show ip route on each router and paste results here
3. In router R4 routing table, what is the distance metric (hop count) to destination subnet B?

4. Ping from PC0 to PC1. This should succeed. Paste result here.

Modify topology and Test


Now, enter the Ethernet interface on router R5 that is connected to Link 1 and execute
shutdown to disable this interface.

Lab activity
1. Execute show ip route on R4 and paste result here. Give a brief comment on the result
(the hop count to subnet B)
2. Ping from PC0 to PC1 and paste result here.
3. Execute show ip rip database on router R4 and paste result here.

Finish Lab and Submit


You must submit this lab to Piazza even if you show your results to your lab instructor. Enter a
log of the dates and times you spent in this lab.

Save this file as <SeatID> – <Your Name> – RIP routing.doc.

Convert the file to PDF (use MS word feature inside save as command) and then upload to
Piazza under Lab#5.

That’s all for Lab#5!
