How to Configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Make two separate network connected via two routers.

   Make sure you cover interfacing ports, giving IP address and changing the state of the ports. , Assign a label to every device according to network they are in. ,, You will need one more separate network to give connectivity between the routers. ,, Here, network A and C are directly connected and network B is unknown by ROUTER1. ,, Here, Network B and C are directly connected to ROUTER2 and Network A is unknown to it. ,,

   Step 2: Do basic configuration on the ROUTER1 using CLI.

3. 3

   Step 3: Configure the IP address and default gateway for each of the end devices.

4. 4

   Step 4: Select ROUTER2 and do basic configuration.

5. 5

   Step 5: Connect two router logically using one more network.

   Step 6: Select ROUTER1 and use the command to see IP route.

7. 7

   Step 7: Identify directly connected networks and unknown network to this router.

8. 8

   Step 8: Use RIP (routing internet protocol) to enter each and every network

9. 9

   Step 9: including unknown networks in the router.

    Step 10: Identify the directly connected and unknown networks to ROUTER2.

11. 11

    Step 11: Configure RIP on ROUTER2.
