Packet Tracer Companion: RIPv2 Challenge Configuration
(7.5.2)
Packet Tracer
Companion
You can now open the file LSG02-Lab752.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this topic to repeat
this hands-on lab using Packet Tracer. Remember, however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a
hands-on lab experience with real equipment.
Lab 7-3: RIPv2 Troubleshooting (7.5.3)
Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to
Cable a network according to the topology diagram in Figure 7-5
■
Erase the startup configuration and reload a router to the default state
■
Load the routers with supplied scripts
■
Gather information about the nonconverged portion of the network along with any other errors
■
Analyze information to determine why convergence is not complete
■
Propose solutions to network errors
■
Implement solutions to network errors
■
Document the corrected network
■
Scenario
In this lab, you will begin by loading configuration scripts on each of the routers. These scripts con-
tain errors that will prevent end-to-end communication across the network. You will need to trou-
bleshoot each router to determine the configuration errors, and then use the appropriate commands to
correct the configurations. When you have corrected all the configuration errors, all the hosts on the
network should be able to communicate with each other.
The network should also have met the following requirements:
RIPv2 routing is configured on the BRANCH1 router.
■
RIPv2 routing is configured on the BRANCH2 router.
■
RIPv2 routing is configured on the HQ router.
■
RIP updates must be disabled on the BRANCH1, BRANCH2, and HQ LAN interfaces.
■
Table 7-7 documents the interface IP address, subnet masks, and default gateways (where applicable)
for all the network devices in the topology diagram in Figure 7-5.
