Learn to configure RIPv2 on a complex network having six routers.To make you learn to configure even very complex routing easier i have taken this example Lab having six routers and four switches.I found many students during their ccna training very easily configure routing having two routers or three routers but when they have to solve or configure a network having more than four routers they get confused while routing.Even some of students get confused in assigning correct ip addresses and detect proper network.Here in this Lab i have taken a little complex example and solve it in few simple steps.This will help ccna learning students to configure and understand complex network easily.If you are preparing for CCNA Exam this article is for you.

Here in this Lab Network in use are

10.0.0.0/8

20.0.0.0/8

30.0.0.0/8

40.0.0.0/8

50.0.0.0/8

60.0.0.0/8

70.0.0.0/8

80.0.0.0/8

90.0.0.0/8

110.0.0.0/8

All four switches used in this Lab are in same network say 110.0.0.0/8.

Now Test and Troubleshoot your RIPv2 configuration:

First I am going to troubleshoot Router0:

Router#show ip protocols
Routing Protocol is “rip”
Sending updates every 30 seconds, next due in 13 seconds
Invalid after 180 seconds, hold down 180, flushed after 240
