Lab 8 Configuring RIP V2 Routing

Overview

The overall objective of this lab is to configure RIP routing between two routers so that there is a routed network connection between computers in the two LANs.   You will have to configure the computer’s IP address, the gateway address, and the IP addresses for the appropriate router interfaces

Detailed Lab Steps

Task # 1

In this lab, you will configure a RIP V2 route to the adjacent LANs, LAN-A to LAN-B based on the network topology provided in Figure 1.   You are to use the IP addresses provided in Table 1. You will be asked to verify that computers in your LAN can ping the neighbor LAN. You are configuring routing for both a 10.10.12.0 and 10.10.30.0 networks. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is being used. Configure the gateway address for your LAN routers according to the addresses listed in Table 1. List the prompt and the command used to configure the gateway address and subnet mask on each of the routers.

Configure the hostname for your routers; R1 should be renamed the CLIDLANA and R2 should be renamed CLIDLANB. Screenshot the router prompt and command used to configure the router’s hostname.                  

     

     

Configure all interfaces for LAN R1 and LAN R2 according to the addresses provided in Table 1. You will also need to enable the interfaces. Provide screenshots of the commands used to configure the IP addresses, the subnet mask for your gateway, and the command used to enable the interface.

                                                     

Configure a RIP V2 route for both the LAN-A and LAN-B routers. Use two commands to verify that the routes are configured. Screenshot the router prompt and command used to accomplish this.  

Use the computers in each LAN to ping the computers in the adjacent LAN, PC1-PC2, PC2-PC1. Screenshot the router prompt and command used to accomplish this.  

Use the proper command to trace the route from a PC in LAN-A to a host in the LAN-B. Your trace should pass through two routers. Screenshot the router prompt, command used and record the trace information. How may hops did you record?

Use the router command that lists the network routes stored in the LAN-A router’s routing table. List the prompt, the command used, and the available routes. Are all of the routes defined for your network? What does it mean to say that the “Gateway of last resort is not set?”

Use the command to save your router configuration to the startup configuration on the LAN-A router. What command did you use? Use the proper command to verify the configuration has been saved to NVRAM. What command did you use?

                       

Task #2   Configuration List

The following is a partial list of the items displayed when you issue the command show running-configuration [sh run] on a router. Your task is to define each item and its purpose. You may need to go to the Cisco website (www.cisco.com) and look up what each of these commands mean

Interface FastEthernet 0/0

What does 0/0 indicate?

ip address 10.10.20.0   255.255.255.224

How many host IP addresses are available in each subnet using this subnet mask?

Shutdown

What is the purpose of this command when it is applied to an interface?

router rip

What is the purpose of this command and from what prompt is this command issued?

version 2

What is the purpose of using this command and from what prompt is this command issued?

network 10.0.0.0

What is the purpose of this command and from what prompt is this command issued?

Explanation / Answer

Task 1:

Question 1 : Configure the gateway address for your LAN routers according to the addresses listed in Table 1. List the prompt and the command used to configure the gateway address and subnet mask on each of the routers.

Solution :

Router 1 :

config t

interface gig 0/0

ip address 10.10.20.250 255.255.255.0
