Homework Solution: Lab 8 Configuring RIP V2 Routing…

Lab 8 Configuring RIP V2 Routing Overview The overall objective of this lab is to configure RIP routing between two routers so that there is a routed network connection between computers in the two LANs.   You will have to configure the computer’s IP address, the gateway address, and the IP addresses for the appropriate router interfaces Topology Router Model: 2811 - Switch Model: Generic(1st Generic) - PC Model: Generic

Figure 1 The Network Topology for This Lab. Key Concepts The following concepts, terms, commands, and steps should have been mastered in this laboratory exercise. How to set the clock rate for the router. Which router controls the clock rate, DCE, DTE? How to you configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the computers in your LAN. How is the gateway address for your LAN router configured? The steps for configuring the hostname for your router The steps for configuring the router interface’s IP addresses and subnet masks. The commands for configuring RIP routing from LAN-A to LAN-B. Two commands that can be used to verify that the routes are configured on the router. The steps to use the computers in your LAN to ping the computers in the adjacent LAN. Use the proper command to trace the route from a PC in LAN-A to the host in the connected LAN-B. Use the proper command to trace the route from your router in LAN-A to the host computer in LAN-B. Use the command to make a telnet connection to your router. The steps to enable a telnet connection to the router? Use the router command that displays the network routes stored in your router’s routing table. Use the command to save your router configuration to NVRAM. Reference Tables For convenience, Table 1 provides the IP address and mask of all necessary interfaces used to complete the lab. Table 1 The Computer IP Addresses, subnet masks and gateway address for lab 3.

	Computer/Interface - R1	IP Address	Subnet Mask	Gateway Address
	PC1	10.10.12.1	255.255.255.0	10.10.12.250
	R1-Fa0/1	10.10.12.250	255.255.255.0	------------------
	R1-Fa0/0	10.20.200.1	255.255.255.0	------------------

	Computer/Interface – R2	IP Address	Subnet Mask	Gateway Address
	PC2	10.10.30.65	255.255.255.0	10.10.30.250
	R2-Fa0/1	10.10.30.250	255.255.255.0	------------------
	R2-Fa0/0	10.20.200.2	255.255.255.0	------------------

Detailed Lab Steps Task # 1 In this lab, you will configure a RIP V2 route to the adjacent LANs, LAN-A to LAN-B based on the network topology provided in Figure 1.   You are to use the IP addresses provided in Table 1. You will be asked to verify that computers in your LAN can ping the neighbor LAN. You are configuring routing for both a 10.10.12.0 and 10.10.30.0 networks. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is being used. Configure the gateway address for your LAN routers according to the addresses listed in Table 1. List the prompt and the command used to configure the gateway address and subnet mask on each of the routers. Configure the hostname for your routers; R1 should be renamed the CLIDLANA and R2 should be renamed CLIDLANB. Screenshot the router prompt and command used to configure the router’s hostname.     Configure all interfaces for LAN R1 and LAN R2 according to the addresses provided in Table 1. You will also need to enable the interfaces. Provide screenshots of the commands used to configure the IP addresses, the subnet mask for your gateway, and the command used to enable the interface.   Configure a RIP V2 route for both the LAN-A and LAN-B routers. Use two commands to verify that the routes are configured. Screenshot the router prompt and command used to accomplish this. Use the computers in each LAN to ping the computers in the adjacent LAN, PC1-PC2, PC2-PC1. Screenshot the router prompt and command used to accomplish this. Use the proper command to trace the route from a PC in LAN-A to a host in the LAN-B. Your trace should pass through two routers. Screenshot the router prompt, command used and record the trace information. How may hops did you record? Use the router command that lists the network routes stored in the LAN-A router’s routing table. List the prompt, the command used, and the available routes. Are all of the routes defined for your network? What does it mean to say that the “Gateway of last resort is not set?” Use the command to save your router configuration to the startup configuration on the LAN-A router. What command did you use? Use the proper command to verify the configuration has been saved to NVRAM. What command did you use?   Task #2   Configuration List The following is a partial list of the items displayed when you issue the command show running-configuration [sh run] on a router. Your task is to define each item and its purpose. You may need to go to the Cisco website (www.cisco.com) and look up what each of these commands mean Interface FastEthernet 0/0 What does 0/0 indicate? ip address 10.10.20.0   255.255.255.224 How many host IP addresses are available in each subnet using this subnet mask? Shutdown What is the purpose of this command when it is applied to an interface? router rip What is the purpose of this command and from what prompt is this command issued? version 2 What is the purpose of using this command and from what prompt is this command issued? network 10.0.0.0 What is the purpose of this command and from what prompt is this command issued?
