1. Objective
To understand routing and procedure to setup RIP on routers..
Another method of routing known as dynamic routing.
2. Resources Required
• Computer
3. Introduction
A routing protocol is a protocol that specifies how routers communicate with each
other, disseminating information that enables them to select routes between any two
nodes on a computer network, the choice of the route being done by routing
algorithms. Each router has a priori knowledge only of networks attached to it directly.
A routing protocol shares this information first among immediate neighbors, and then
throughout the network. This way, routers gain knowledge of the topology of the
network.
4. PROCEDURE
First table:
It keeps the track of directly attached neighbors.
Second table:
It determines the topology of entire internetwork.
Third table:
It is used as routing table.
As compared to the first protocol it knows more information about the internetwork.
Link state protocols send updates containing the state of their own links to all other routers on the
network.
HYBRID:
It includes attributes of both above mentioned protocols.EIGRP falls in the category of hybrid
protocol.
Metric(route property):
It consists of a value used for determining that which route will perform better than the other
route. It is used to choose the best route among the routes found by same routing protocol.
Administrative distance:
It is used for the selection of best path when there are two or more different paths options to
the same destination from two different routing protocols. Each routing protocol is prioritized
in order of most to least reliable (believable) using an administrative distance value.
PROCEDURE:
Configure the routers and pcs and also set the clock rate.
For router 0:
In the third line mention the no of networks connected to the router.
#config t
#router ip
#network 192.168.10.0
#network 192.168.20.0
For router 1:
#config t
#router ip
#network 192.168.20.0
#network 192.168.30.0
#network 192.168.40.0
For router 2:
#config t
#router ip
#network 192.168.60.0
#network 192.168.40.0
Router 4
Router 5
Router 6
More automation: Routing updates are automatically sent to all other routers.
Change notification: The dynamic routing protocol may be able to reroute traffic around a link
that is down or congested.
Greater uptime for users: Because the routing protocol has intelligence and can react faster, the
users may see more uptime.
Greater network throughput: Because the routing protocol may be able to calculate the most
responsive network link to use, the users may see less latency and more performance out of the
network.
5. Learning Outcomes
Dynamic routing is done successfully
Explains the routing used in routers to connect different networks used in routers.
How can we change or configure clock rate in routers.
