RIP Routing Lab with 5 Routers: Cisco Packet Tracer Lab.

This Lab is all about RIP Routing Configuration. I have taken total 5 Routers to demonstrate this Routing Lab using Cisco Packet Tracer. Since this lab is focused on RIP routing, I will mention RIP routing Configuration steps only and no ip address basic things. I want to assume here that you already know how to assign ip address on routers. But If You don’t know i have already written article on that.

In RIP Routing we tell each router about directly connected networks only.

There are two types of RIP routing:

RIPv1 and RIPv2 and both configurations are same. Means no difference in their configuration commands.

RIP Routing Configuration on Router R1:

R1(config)#router rip
R1(config-router)#version 2
R1(config-router)#network 172.168.0.0
R1(config-router)#network 2.0.0.0
R1(config-router)#

RIP Routing Configuration on Router R2:

R2(config)#router rip
R2(config-router)#version 2
R2(config-router)#network 2.0.0.0
R2(config-router)#network 3.0.0.0
R2(config-router)#

RIP Routing Configuration on Router R3:

R3(config)#router rip
R3(config-router)#version 2
R3(config-router)#network 3.0.0.0
R3(config-router)#network 4.0.0.0
R3(config-router)#

RIP Routing Configuration on Router R4:

R4(config)#router rip
R4(config-router)#version 2
R4(config-router)#net 4.0.0.0
R4(config-router)#net 5.0.0.0

RIP Routing Configuration on Router R5:

R5(config)#router rip
R5(config-router)#version 2
R5(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0
R5(config-router)#network 5.0.0.0

Routing Configuration check:

R1#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
       * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
       P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is not set

C    2.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1
R    3.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 2.0.0.2, 00:00:15, FastEthernet0/1
R    4.0.0.0/8 [120/2] via 2.0.0.2, 00:00:15, FastEthernet0/1
R    5.0.0.0/8 [120/3] via 2.0.0.2, 00:00:15, FastEthernet0/1
C    172.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
R    192.168.1.0/24 [120/4] via 2.0.0.2, 00:00:15, FastEthernet0/1

Routing Protocol verification:

R1#show ip protocols
Routing Protocol is "rip"
Sending updates every 30 seconds, next due in 7 seconds
Invalid after 180 seconds, hold down 180, flushed after 240
Outgoing update filter list for all interfaces is not set
Incoming update filter list for all interfaces is not set
Redistributing: rip
Default version control: send version 2, receive 2
