. Page 1 of CIS 256: Lab 8 – Configuring Cisco Router(s) Configuring and Verifying RIP Topology Diagram Required Resources The following resources are required for packet tracer program Two routers, each with an Ethernet and serial interface. You will need two (2) Cisco 2011 routers with HWIC-2T (serial module) installed on it. Two computers or hosts Two straight-through Category 5 Ethernet cables (H1 to switch and switch to R1) Crossover Category 5 Ethernet cable (H2 to router R2) Console cables (from H1 and H2 to routers R1 and R2) Access to the H1 and H2 command prompt Access to the H1 and H2 network TCP/IP configuration Addressing Table Device Host Name Interface IP Address Subnet Mask R1 R1 Serial 0/0/0 (DCE) 172.17.0.1 255.255.255.224 Fast Ethernet 0/0 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0 R2 R2 Serial 0/0/0 (DTE) 172.17.0.2 255.255.255.224 Fast Ethernet 0/0 172.18.0.1 255.255.255.0
CIS-256 Routing & Switching Lab 8: Basic RIP Protocol . Page 2 of Lab Goals Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to: Cable a network design as described above topology diagram Configure IP addressing described above Verifying RIP routing protocol and verifying it. Part 1: Prepare the Network Step 1: Build the network and configure the routers. Build the network shown above topology diagram Step 2: Configure the hosts. a. Configure host H1 attached to R1 with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway that is compatible with the IP address of the R1 Fast Ethernet interface (172.16.0.1/24) Host H1 IP configuration : IP address: 172.16.0.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 Default gateway: 172.16.0.1 b. Configure host H2 attached to R2 with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway that is compatible with the IP address of the R2 Fast Ethernet interface (172.18.0.1/24) Host H2 IP configuration : IP address: 172.18.0.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 Default gateway: 172.18.0.1 Step 3: Check the R1 routing table a. View the IP routing table for R1 using the show ip route command. R1> show ip route <output omitted> Gateway of last resort is not set C 172.16.0.0/16 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 C 172.17.0.0/16 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0 b. What is the significance of the “C” to the left of the 172.16.0.0 and 172.17.0.0 network entries in the routing table? The routes are not connected to the router unless the interfaces are up. Step 4: Test end-to-end connectivity a. From R1, ping the R2 router Fast Ethernet interface. R1# ping 172.18.0.1 b. From host H1, ping host H2 (from network 172.16.0.2 to network 172.18.0.2). C:\> ping 172.18.0.2
CIS-256 Routing & Switching Lab 8: Basic RIP Protocol . Page 3 of Are the pings successful? No Step 5: Configure the routing protocol of the routers. There are two versions of RIP: version 1 and version 2. It is important to specify RIP version 2 (RIPv2) in this configuration, because RIPv2 is the most current version. Some routers default to RIPv2, but it is best to not assume that is the case. a. In global configuration mode, enter the following on R1. R1(config)# router rip R1(config-router)# version 2 R1(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 R1(config-router)# network 172.17.0.0 R1(config-router)# exit R1(config)# exit b. Save the R1 router configuration. R1# copy running-config startup-config c. In global configuration mode, enter the following on R2. R2(config)# router rip R2(config-router)# version 2 R2(config-router)# network 172.17.0.0 R2(config-router)# network 172.18.0.0 R2(config-router)# exit R2(config)#exit d. Save the R2 router configuration. R2# copy running-config startup-config Step 6: View the routing tables for each router. a. In enable or privileged EXEC mode, examine the routing table entries using the show ip route command on router R1. 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 C 172.17.0.0/16 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0 C 172.16.0.0/16 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 R 172.18.0.0/16 [120/1] via 172.17.0.2, 00:00:17, Serial0/0/0 Step 7: Test end-to-end connectivity. a. From R1, ping the R2 router Fast Ethernet interface. R1# ping 172.18.0.1 Are the pings successful? Yes b. From the host H1 command prompt, ping H2 (from network 172.16.0.2 to network 172.18.0.2). C:\> ping 172.18.0.2 Are the pings successful? Yes c. Why are the pings successful this time? One router was able to find the other router and its ethernet network.
