E-Lab 7.2.2 - RIP
Take a look at the router topology before starting the lab.
Setup and monitor dynamic routing between networks using RIP (Routing Information Protocol) on the routers, so that they can exchange routing updates with each other.
Analyze the effect of RIP on the routing process.
Step 1
The network should be cabled together and IP addresses configured.
Use a ping command from the workstation 192.168.1.2 to the workstation at 192.168.3.2.
Step 2
Since the ping failed, start troubleshooting.
Check the IP configuration of the local workstation.
Step 3.1
The ipconfig command output shows that the workstation is configured correctly.
Now check the brief interface status information for Cairo.
Step 3.2
The output indicates no problem with interface connectivity on the Cairo router.
Check the brief interface status information for Amman.
Step 4.1
Once again, the interfaces are up and active.
Now check the routing table for Amman.
Step 4.2
Notice that the routing table for Amman has no route to the Ethernet segment 192.168.1.0 on Cairo.
Now check the routing table for Cairo.
Step 5
Likewise, Cairo has no route to the Ethernet segment 192.168.3.0 on Amman.
In order to install these routes into the routing table and enable end-to-end connectivity,  we will use RIP.
Enter configuration mode to begin the configuration process.
Step 6.1
Enter router configuration mode to configure RIP.
Step 6.2
Now that RIP is enabled, specify that RIP will send update information about the following networks:
192.168.1.0
192.168.2.0
Step 6.3
Type end to end the config session.
Step 7
Verify RIP configuration with show ip protocols.
Step 8
Enter configuration mode to begin the configuration process for router Amman.
Step 9.1
Enter router configuration mode to configure RIP.
Step 9.2
Now that RIP is enabled, specify that RIP will send update information about the following networks:
192.168.3.0
192.168.2.0
Step 9.3
Type end to end the configuration session.
Step 10.1
Verify RIP configuration with show ip protocols.
Step 10.2
Now check the routing table for Cairo.
Step 10.3
Check the routing table for Amman as well.
Step 11
Try the ping from WorkstationA to 192.168.3.2, now that the routes are in place.
