Background / Scenario
In this lab, you will explore and configure two versions of the RIP routing protocol—RIP version 1 (v1)
and RIP version 2 (v2). RIP v1 supports classful routing but lacks features such as subnet masks and
route summarization control, while RIP v2 introduces classless routing and multicast updates, making
it more efficient for modern networks. You will practice configuring RIP v1, migrating to RIP v2.
Activity Objectives
Use show ip route to confirm routes in the routing table for RIP v1 and RIP v2.
Use show ip protocols to verify the active RIP configuration and observe differences between v1 and v2.
Use ping ip_address to test connectivity between all devices.

R1(config-router)# network 30.0.0.0 Add Serial0/1/1 network to RIP
R1(config-router)# passive-interface gig 0/0/0 Configure the LAN port that contains no routers so
that it does not send out any routing information.

R1(config)# exit
A) Use show ip route to confirm routes in the routing table for RIP v1 and RIP v2.
C (Connected): Indicates directly connected networks, which are automatically added to the routing
table in both RIP v1 and RIP v2.
L (Local): Represents the IP address assigned to a router's interface; these entries are present in both
RIP v1 and RIP v2.
RIP v1:

Routes appear as classful entries (no subnet masks displayed).
RIP v2:
B) Use show ip protocols to verify the active RIP configuration and observe differences between v1
and v2.
