RIP with DHCP configuration

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) defines a way for routers, which connect networks using the Internet Protocol (IP), to share information about how to route traffic among networks.

RIP is classified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), one of several protocols for routers moving traffic around within a larger autonomous system network.

RIP with DHCP configuration project done by ICSS student Swastick Raj Chatterjee. Here discussed the process below of the configuration.

Before starting the configuration Let’s discuss about RIP

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employ the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from source to destination. The largest number of hops allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks that RIP can support. RIP is a Distance Vector.

RIPv1/2 – Route cost is calculated on Hop Counts. On the basis of subnet mask advertisements Classful – RIPv1 – Protocol can only work with Fixed Length Subnet Mask (FLSM) Auto Summarizes classless subnets. Classless – Ripv2, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP – Protocol can work with both FLSM and VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Mask). No auto summarization for classless subnets.

STEPS ARE GIVEN BELOW to make this configuration

Draw the model as per the requirements of the configuration in step 1.

We will create 4 types of configuration for each router in 2^nd step. 4 types of configuration are mentioned below:

-1^st type of configuration is fast Ethernet port configuration;

-2^nd type of configuration is serial port configuration;

-3^rd type of configuration is IP DHCP configuration; and

-4^th type of configuration is RIP configuration.

Now Let’s start with the 1^st router which is known as ROUTER 0

Now check whether the DHCP request successfully came or not in the first router;

Now come to the second router configuration which is known as ROUTER 1

Check whether the DHCP request successfully came or not to make sure for the corrections of the configuration;

Third router configuration described below by the snapshot. Third router known as ROUTER 2.

Now make sure the DHCP request has came.

In the last step of the configuration I have shown by the snapshot of packet sending from one laptop to another laptop and the packet sending result should be in a successful mode.

User can confirm that the configuration has created in a right way by showing the successful packet sending confirmation message.
