Objective: We will configure Routers 1, 2, and 4 with IP addresses and RIP Routing Protocol
Goals:
1) Set our hostname and get our interfaces up.
2) Configure RIP routing protocol
3) Select the directly connected networks
4) View our routing table
5) View the RIP protocol information
IP Addresses: Please set these IP addresses on the interfaces of your routers.
1. Configure the Routers 1, 2, and 4 to the specifications outlined in the table above and
the diagram below.
2. After you have configured your IP address on each interface verify that you can ping
your directly connected neighbors. That means when you are on Router 1 you should be
able to ping Router 2's Ethernet 0 interface and Router 4's Serial 0 interface.
3. Now that we have our IP addressing setup correctly lets get into configuring RIP as our
routing protocol. This is very easy to do; first we need to get into router configuration
mode on Router 1. What command does this?
Router1#Router1#configure terminalRouter1(config)#
4. Now enter the command to configure the router for RIP.
Router1(config)#router ripRouter1(config-router)#
5. Add the network(s) that Router 1 is directly connected to. What statements will do
this?
Router1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0Router1(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
6. Now you have Router 1 configured for RIP, connect to Router 2 and enter
configuration mode.
Router2#Router2#config TerminalRouter2(config)#
7. Add RIP routing protocol to the router. What command does this?
Router2(config)#router ripRouter2(config-router)#
8. Add the network(s) that Router 2 is directly connected to. What statements will do
this?
Router2(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0
9. Now you have Router 2 configured for RIP, connect to Router 4 and enter
configuration mode.
Router4#Router4#config TerminalRouter4(config)#
10. Add RIP routing protocol to Router 4. What command does this?
Router4(config)#router ripRouter4(config-router)#
11. Add the network(s) that Router 4 is directly connected to. What statements will do
this?
Router4(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
12. Now we should have RIP running on all three of our routers. Type <ctrl> Z to exit to
privileged mode and let’s see if we can ping non-directly connected routers. From
Router 2 you should now be able to ping Router 4's Serial 0 interface with IP address
172.16.10.2. Let’s try it!
Router2#ping 172.16.10.2
13. Next let’s connect to Router 4 and ping Router 2's Ethernet 0 interface with IP
address 10.1.1.2
Router4#ping 10.1.1.2
14. If you can ping both devices, CONGRATULATIONS you are routing. If you were
not successful, trace yourself back through the steps. Now let’s view our routing table on
our Router 4. What command will do that?
Router1#show ip route
15. Lets view the specific IP routing protocol information on our router. What command
will do this?
Router1#show ip protocols
