Configure the RIP Version

Network Requirements

• RIPv2 runs between Device1 and Device2 for route interaction.

Network Topology

Figure 5-1 Networking for Configuring the RIP Version

Configuration Steps

Step 1: Create VLANs, and add ports to the required VLANs. (Omitted)

Step 2: Configure IP addresses for the ports. (Omitted)

Step 3: Configure RIP.

#Configure Device1.

#Configure Device2.

#Query the routing table of Device1.

Device1#show ip route 
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - static, R - RIP, B - BGP, i-ISIS 
       U - Per-user Static route 
       O - OSPF, OE-OSPF External, M - Management, E - IRMP, EX - IRMP external 
 
C 1.0.0.0/24 is directly connected, 00:23:06, vlan3 
R 50.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 1.0.0.2, 00:13:26, vlan3 
C 100.0.0.0/24 is directly connected, 00:23:06, vlan2
C 127.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, 76:51:00, lo0 

#Query the routing table of Device2.

Device2#show ip route 
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - static, R - RIP, B BGP, i-ISIS 
       U Per-user Static route 
       O - OSPF, OE-OSPF External, M - Management, E - IRMP, EX IRMP external 
 
C 1.0.0.0/24 is directly connected, 00:23:06, vlan2
C 50.0.0/24 is directly connected, 00:23:06, vlan3
R 100.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 1.0.0.1, 00:13:26, vlan2
C 127.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, 76:51:00, lo0 

According to the routing table, the route advertised by the device uses an 8-bit natural mask.

Step 4: Configure the RIP version.

#Configure Device1.

#Configure Device2.

Step 5: Check the result.

#Query the routing table of Device1.

Device1#show ip route 
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - static, R - RIP, B - BGP, i-ISIS 
       U - Per-user Static route 
       O - OSPF, OE-OSPF External, M - Management, E - IRMP, EX - IRMP external 
 
C 1.0.0.0/24 is directly connected, 00:23:06, vlan3 
R 50.0.0.0/24 [120/1] via 1.0.0.2, 00:13:26, vlan3 
C 100.0.0.0/24 is directly connected, 00:23:06, vlan2
C 127.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, 76:51:00, lo0

#Query the routing table of Device2.

Device2#show ip route 
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - static, R - RIP, B BGP, i-ISIS 
       U Per-user Static route 
       O - OSPF, OE-OSPF External, M - Management, E - IRMP, EX IRMP external 
 
C 1.0.0.0/24 is directly connected, 00:23:06, vlan2
C 50.0.0/24 is directly connected, 00:23:06, vlan3
R 100.0.0.0/24 [120/1] via 1.0.0.1, 00:13:26, vlan2
C 127.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, 76:51:00, lo0 

According to the routing table, the route advertised by the device uses a 24-bit accurate mask.
