How to configure Routing Information Protocol RIP routing

Rip Routing Configurations


In this article I will demonstrate an example of Rip Routingconfigurations. We will use four different series router so you can get familiar with all different platform covered in CCNA exam. Create a topology as shown in figure.


IP RIP comes in two different versions: 1 and 2. Version 1 is a distance vector protocol and is defined in RFC 1058. Version 2 is a hybrid protocol and is defined in RFCs 1721 and 1722. The CCNA exam now primarily focuses on version 2. There are no major differences between RIPv1 or RIPv2 so far configurations concern. To read more about differences between RIPv1 or RIPv2 or know about the characteristics read our pervious article about RIP.

You can verify that RIP is running successfully via show ip protocols command in privilege mode.

You can use show ip route command to troubleshoot rip network. If you did not see information about any route checks the router attached with that network. 

R1#show ip route

To test rip routing do ping from pc1 to pc2 and vice versa. If you get replay then you have successfully configured rip routing but if you did not get replay double check this configuration and try to troubleshoot. I have uploaded a configured and tested topology in case you are unable to locate the problem spot then download this configuration file. And try to find out where have you committed mistake.


CommandsDescriptions
Router(config)#router ripEnables RIP as a routing protocol
Router(config-router)#network w.x.y.zw.x.y.z is the network number of the directly connected network you want to advertise.
Router(config)#no router ripTurns off the RIP routing process
Router(config-router)#no network w.x.y.zRemoves network w.x.y.z from the RIP routing process.
Router(config-router)#version 2RIP will now send and receive RIPv2 packets globally.
Router(config-router)#version 1RIP will now send and receive RIPv1 packets only
Router(config-router)#no auto-summaryRIPv2 summarizes networks at the classful boundary. This command turns autosummarization off.
Router(config-router)#passive-interface s0/0/0RIP updates will not be sent out this interface.
Router(config-router)#no ip split-horizonTurns off split horizon (on by default).
Router(config-router)#ip split-horizonRe-enables split horizon
Router(config-router)#timers basic 30 90 180 270 360Changes timers in RIP: 30 = Update timer (in seconds) 90 = Invalid timer (in seconds) 180 = Hold-down timer (in seconds) 270 = Flush timer (in seconds) 360 = Sleep time (in milliseconds)
Router#debug ip ripDisplays all RIP activity in real time
Router#show ip rip databaseDisplays contents of the RIP database
