Updated RIP Network Configuration Presentation

The document outlines a project aimed at using Python to streamline the setup of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for networking, particularly in Digital & Fine Arts institutions. It details the creation of a Python script that facilitates router initialization, subnet configuration, and RIP setup, while emphasizing applied learning in networking concepts. Future developments include adding a graphical user interface and expanding support for IPv6 and API integration.

Python-Based RIP Network Setup

• Course: INWK 6111


• Team: [Your Group]
• Date: [Submission Date]
Introduction
• Aim: Employ Python to streamline RIP setup
• Context: Suitable for Digital & Fine Arts-based
institutions
• Focus Areas: Router initialization, subnet
configuration, RIP setup, and broadcasting
local networks
Project Summary
• Builds a Python script (ripconfig.py)
• Prioritizes robust and extensible routing
• Encourages applied learning in networking
concepts
Software & Libraries Used
• Core Python concepts: Variables, control
flows, functions, classes, file input/output
• Modules used: os, optional use of json
RIP Setup Objectives
• Define router names
• Set interface addresses
• Activate RIP protocol
• Promote directly connected subnets
Example Network Layout
• Network consists of three routers: R1, R2, and
R3
• Example Subnets: 192.168.1.0/24,
192.168.2.0/24
• Linear chain topology: R1 — R2 — R3
Python Code Structure
• Router class contains setup parameters
• Functions include:
• - add_interface()
• - enable_rip()
• - advertise_networks()
• - generate_config()
• File writing used to output configurations
Example Code Overview
• Class-based structure for routers
• Adds interfaces, activates RIP, and writes
config
• Outputs to .cfg or .txt file format
Sample Output Format
• Generated configuration file includes:
• - Router hostname
• - IP address assignments
• - RIP enabled
• - Network announcements
Workflow Summary
• Takes router-specific input from user
• Utilizes loops and conditions to build the
setup
• Saves output to a file ready for deployment
Conclusion
• Simplifies traditional network setup
• Compatible with multiple routing scenarios
• Bridges Python scripting with real-life network
configuration
Future Developments
• Add graphical user interface for input
• Expand to RIPng (IPv6 support)
• Enable integration with APIs for cloud and
router platforms
