Learning
Objectives
Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:
  • Cable a network according to the Topology Diagram.
  • Load Provided scripts onto the routers.
  • Examine the current status of the network.
  • Configure RIPv2 on all routers.
  • Examine the automatic summarisation of routes.
  • Examine routing updates with debug ip rip.
  • Disable automatic summarisation.
  • Examine the routing tables.
  • Verify network connectivity.
  • Document the RIPv2 configuration.

Scenario
The network shown in the Topology Diagram contains a discontiguous network, 172.30.0.0. This network has been subnetted using VLSM. The 172.30.0.0 subnets are physically and logically divided by at least one other classful or major network, in this case the two serial networks 209.165.200.228/30 and 209.165.200.232/30. This can be an issue when the routing protocol used does not include enough information to distinguish the individual subnets. RIPv2 is a classless routing protocol that can be used to provide subnet mask information in the routing updates. This will allow VLSM subnet information to be propagated throughout the network.

Task 1: Cable, Erase, and Reload the Routers.

Step 1: Cable a network

Cable a network that similar to the one in the Topology Diagram.

Step 2: Clear the configuration on each router.

Clear the configuration on each of routers using the erase startup-config command and then reload the routers. Answer no if asked to save changes.

Task 2: Load Routers with the Supplied Scripts.

Step 1: Load the following script onto R1.

Step 2: Load the following script onto R2.

end

Task 3: Examine the Current Status of the Network.

Step 1: Verify that booth serial links are up.

The two serial links can quickly be verified using the show ip interface brief command on R2.

R2#show ip interface brief
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

FastEthernet0/0        10.1.0.1        YES manual up                    up

FastEthernet0/1        unassigned      YES manual administratively down down

Serial0/0              209.165.200.229 YES manual up                    up
 
Serial0/1              209.168.200.233 YES manual up                    up


Step 2: Check the connectivity from R2 to the hosts on the R1 and R3 LANs.

Note: For the 1841 router, you will need to disable IP CEF to obtain the correct output from the ping command. Although a discussion of IP CEF is beyond the scope of this course, you may disable IP CEF by using the following command in global configuration mode:

R2(config)#no ip cef

From the R2 router, how many ICMP messages are successful when pinging PC1?
____________________________________________________________________

From the R2 router, how many ICMP messages are successful when ping to PC4?
____________________________________________________________________

Step 3: Check the connectivity between the PCs.

From the PC1, is it possible to ping PC2? ____________
What is the success rate? ________________
From the PC1, is it possible to ping PC3? ____________
What is the success rate? ________________
From the PC1, is it possible to ping PC4? ____________
What is the success rate? ________________

From the PC4, is it possible to ping PC2? ____________
What is the success rate? ________________
From the PC4, is it possible to ping PC3? ____________
What is the success rate? ________________

Step
4: View the routing table on R2.




Both
the R1 and R3 are advertising routes to the 172.30.0.0/16 network;
therefore, there are two entries for this network in the R2 routing
table. The R2 routing table only shows the major classful network
address of 172.30.0.0 – it does not show any of the subnets for
this network that are used on the LANs attached to R1 and R3. Because
the routing metric is the same for both entries, the router
alternates the routes that are used when forwarding packets that are
destined for the 172.30.0.0/16 network.

Step
5: Examine the routing table on the R1 router.



Both
R1 and R3 are configured with interfaces on a discontiguous network,
172.30.0.0. The 172.30.0.0 subnets are physically and logically
divided by at least one other classful or major network – in
this case, the two serial networks 209.165.200.228/30 and
209.165.200. 232/30. Classful routing protocols like RIPv1 summarize
networks at major network boundaries. Both R1 and R3 will be
summarizing 172.30.0.0/24 subnets to 172.30.0.0/16. Because the route
to 172.30.0.0/16 is directly connected, and because R1 does not have
any specific routes for the 172.30.0.0 subnets on R3, packets
destined for the R3 LANs will not be forwarded properly.

Step
6: Examine the routing table on the R3 router.



R3
only shows its own subnets for 172.30.0.0 network: 172.30.100/24,
172.30.110/24, 172.30.200.16/28, and 172.30.200.32/28. R3 does not
have any routes for the 172.30.0.0 subnets on R1.

Step
7: Examine the RIPv1 packets that are being received by R2.



Use
the
debug
ip rip

command to
display RIP routing updates.




R2
is receiving the route 172.30.0.0, the 1 hop, from both R1 and R3.
Because these are equal cost metrics, both routes are added to the R2
routing table. Because RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol, no
subnet mask information is sent in the update.

about the 172.30.0.0 subnet routes.

When
you are finished, turn off debugging.

Task
4: Configure RIP Version 2.




Step
1: Use the
version

command to enable RIP version 2 on each of the routers.

RIPv2
messages include the subnet mask in a field in the routing updates.
This allows subnets and their masks to be included in the routing
updates. However, by default RIPv2 summarizes networks at major
network boundaries, just like RIPv1, except that the subnet mask is
included in the update.




Step
2: Verify that RIPv2 is running on the routers.



The
debug

commands can all be used to confirm that RIPv2 is running. The output
of the show ip protocols command for R1 is shown below.

The
LAN connected to R1 and R3 are still composed of discontiguous
networks. R2 still shows two equal cost paths to the 172.30.0.0/16
network in the routing table. R2 still shows only the major classful
network address of 172.30.0.0 and does not show any of the subnets
for this network.

Use
the output of the debug ip rip command to answer the following
questions:

What
entries are included in the RIP updates sent out from R3?

_______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________






On
R2, what routes are in the RIP updates that are received from R3?

_______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________



R3
is not sending any of the 172.30.0.0 subnets – only the
summarized route of 172.30.0.0/16, including the subnet mask. This is
why R2 and R1 are not seeing the 172.30.0.0 subnets on R3.




Task
6: Disable Automatic Summarization.



The
no
auto-summary

command is used to turn off automatic summarization in RIPv2. Disable
auto summarization on all routers. The routers will no longer
summarize routes at major network boundaries.



R2(config)#router

R2(config-router)#no

R1(config)#router

R1(config-router)#no

The

can be used to verify that automatic summarizationis off.



Task
