Configuration of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) in Cisco Packet Tracer

What is Routing Information Protocol?
Routing information protocol is a protocol that routers use to exchange topological information. It is characterized as an interior gateway protocol and is only used in small and medium-sized networks. In Cisco packet tracer this information is updated every 30 seconds
.
How to use Routing Information Protocol?

STEPS:

1) Initially select 2 PC'S, 2 SWITCHES and 2 ROUTERS namely PC-0, PC-1, SWITCH-0, SWITCH-1 ROUTER-0 and ROUTER-1 respectively.

2) Make the necessary connection between the ROUTERS and SWITCHES and SWITCHES and PC'S

3) Now provide the IP addresses to the devices in the following format -:

Device name -- IP address -- Subnet Mask -- Gateway

PC-0 -- 192.168.1.2 -- 255.255.255.0 -- 192.168.3.2

PC-1 -- 192.168.2.2 -- 255.255.255.0 -- 192.168.2.1

ROUTER-0 -- 192.168.1.1 -- 255.255.255.0 ---------- ( to SWITCH-0 - fa 0/2) (first switch off the router then assign)

ROUTER-1 -- 192.168.2.1 -- 255.255.255.0 ---------- ( to SWITCH-1 - fa 0/3) (first switch off the router then assign)

ROUTER-0 -- 10.10.0.2 -- 255.0.0.0  ------------- ( to ROUTER-1 - serial 0/2/0) (first switch off the router then assign)

ROUTER-1 -- 10.10.0.3 -- 255.0.0.0 ------------ ( to ROUTER-0 - serial 0/2/0) (first switch off the router then assign)

4) Once the networks are added, go to the settings option and in 'NVRAM' tap the save option.

5) Now write the command 'no shut' in the CLI of each device on the workspace to change the link to 'up' state.

6) Now in the CLI of ROUTER-1 type the command 'router rip'. Next command in the router configuration mode, type 'network 192.168.2.0' press enter and 'network 10.0.0.0' and press enter.
This will establish the connection and RIP will be in use.




Router-1:
Router>enable
Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2
Router(config)#no ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0
Router(config-router)#network 192.168.2.0

Router-2:
Router>enable
Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Router(config)#no ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config-router)#network 192.168.3.0
Router(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0
Router(config-router)#

Configuring Open Shortest Path First Protocol:

Configuring Open Shortest Path First Protocol: What is OSPF? The OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol is one of a family of IP Routing protocols, and is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for the Internet, used to distribute IP routing information throughout a single Autonomous System (AS) in an IP network. The OSPF protocol is a link-state routing protocol, which means that the routers exchange topology information with their nearest neighbours. The topology information is flooded throughout the AS so that every router within the AS has a complete picture of the topology of the AS. This picture is then used to calculate end-to-end paths through the AS, normally using a variant of the Dijkstra algorithm. Therefore, in a link-state routing protocol, the next hop address to which data is forwarded is determined by choosing the best end-to-end path to the eventual destination. CONFIGURATION: STEPS: 1)  Select  3PCs  and connect them with  Routers  and Switches . T hen

Introduction to Cisco Packet Tracer

Image
Introduction: Packet Tracer is a platform for visual representation/ simulation tools for Network development, developed by Cisco system, which allows users to create networks, and gives the privilege to configure routers, PCs and network devices through the virtual command line. Key Features: Packet Tracer Workspace:   Cisco Packet Tracer has two workspaces; one physical and another logical. The logical workspace allows users to build virtual networks by providing virtual switches, hubs, PCs, Routers and connecting devices as cables, connecting wires. Users can make virtual network topologies by placing, connecting the virtual network devices. The physical workspace shows the graphical representation of the logical network. 1. Logical Workspace 2. Physical Workspace Packet Tracer Modes:  Cisco Packet Tracer provides users with two operation modes to get the essences of the networks by visualizing the behaviour networks. One is Real Time Mode and another is

Configuring Static NAT in Cisco Packet Tracer

Configuring Static NAT in Cisco Packet Tracer NAT: There are several situations where we need address translation such as a network which don't have sufficient public IP addresses want to connect with the internet , two networks which have save IP addresses want to merge or due to security reason a network want to hide its internal IP structure from the external world. NAT is the process which translates IP addresses. NAT can be performed at firewall , server and router. Our network is built with private IP addresses and we want to connect it with the internet .As we know to connect with internet we require public IP addresses. In this situation we can use NAT which will map private IP with public IP. Two networks which are using same IP addresses scheme want two merge. In this situation NAT device is used to avoid overlapping issue. We want to connect multiple  computers with internet through the single public IP addresses.In this situation NAT is used to map the mult
