RIP PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION IN CISCO PACKET TRACER

                       RIP PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION IN CISCO PACKET TRACER

The Routing Information Protocol, or RIP, as it is more commonly called, is one of the most enduring of all routing protocols. RIP has four basic components: routing update process, RIP routing metrics, routing stability, and routing timers. 

Devices that support RIP send routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the network topology changes. These RIP packets include information about the networks that the devices can reach as well as the number of routers or gateways that a packet must travel through to reach the destination address.

RIP generates more traffic than OSPF, but is easier to configure. RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses hop count as the metric for path selection. When RIP is enabled on an interface, the interface exchanges RIP broadcasts with neighbouring devices to dynamically learn about and advertise routes.


CONFIGURATION OF RIP USING CLI IN CISCO PACKET TRACER:
  • The steps to set up the RIP is same to some point as setting a router network link explained in the previous blog. The further steps to follow are given below:
    • Type no IP route network_ip network_subnet gateway_router_address.
      • (e.g.): no IP route 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.20
    • Then type router rip and hit enter.
    • Then type network_id to add and gateway_id of the network.
Do same for 2nd router and try to ping.

The steps are shown below using CLI interface.
