Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2)

Chapter Description

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a perfect example of a simple distance vector routing protocol that follows all the standard distance vector designs. In this sample chapter from CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Foundation, 2nd Edition, you will explore the simplicity of RIP configuration, advanced RIP filtering scenarios, and RIP configuration challenges.

Lab 2: Helper Map

This lab should be conducted on the Enterprise POD.

Lab Setup:

If you are using EVE-NG, and you have imported the EVE-NG topology from the EVE-NG-Topology folder, ignore the following tasks and use Lab 2-Helper-map in the RIPv2 folder in EVE-NG.

To copy and paste the initial configurations, go to the Initial-config folder RIPv2 folder Lab-2.

Task 1

Configure OSPF Area 0 on the following interfaces:

  • The G0/1, G0/3, and loopback0 interfaces of R2

  • All directly connected interfaces of R3

  • The G0/3 interface of R4

Task 2

Configure RIPv2 on the:

  • Lo0 and G0/2 interfaces of R1

  • G0/4 interface on R5

Disable auto-summarization on these devices.

Task 3

Configure multicasting on the appropriate routers such that R5 receives all the RIPv2 updates from R1.

  • R2 should be configured as the RP and the BSR router. This router should use its loopback interface as the source of all its BSR messages.

  • You must use 224.1.1.1 to accomplish this task.

  • Restrictions:

    1. Do not run multiple unicast routing protocols on any of the routers.

    2. Do not configure GRE, IPnIP, MPLS, LDP, or any type of tunneling to accomplish this task.

Task 4

Erase the startup configuration and reload the routers before proceeding to the next lab.
