Experiment RIP Protocol
Title
Resources Cisco Packet Tracer
Required
Objectives Understanding RIP Protocol.
Theory What is the RIP Protocol?
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector routing protocol
used in Internet Protocol (IP) networks, primarily for routing within an
Autonomous System (AS). Its primary function is to determine the best route
for data packets to travel between nodes in a network.
Network
Steps to Configure the machines: Assign IP addresses and default gateways to each
configure RIP machine.
For the first machine, the IP address is 192.168.1.2 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1

For the second machine, the IP address is 192.168.2.2 and the gateway is
192.168.2.1
Configure the routers: Provide the default gateway for each router.
For the first router, the gateway is 192.168.1.1
For the second router, the gateway is 192.168.2.1
Configure the link between the routers: Use the serial port to configure the
connection between the two routers.
Set the clock rate on one router (64000).
Assign IP addresses to the serial ports (e.g., 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3).
Make sure to turn on both ports.
Enable RIP on each router: Mention the networks each router knows about.
For the first router, mention networks 192.168.1.0 and 10.0.0.0
For the second router, mention networks 192.168.2.0 and 10.0.0.0
Save the configuration: Save the configuration in NVRAM (non-volatile RAM).
Test the connection: Wait for about 10 seconds for the routers to update their
routing tables.
Send a packet from one machine to the other to verify the connection.
Output of ‘ping’ &
‘tracert’
commands
Conclusion This experiment successfully demonstrated RIP configuration in Cisco Packet
Tracer. By configuring IP addresses, gateways, serial links, and enabling RIP on

each router, we established successful communication between two
networks. This confirms RIP's ability to dynamically update routing tables and
facilitate network connectivity.
