Packet Tracer# 7.1.5.2: Verify Non-Convergence Using Commands

In this Packet Tracer what i did was test out the network and identify the problems in the simulation mode. First i did show ip brief to show me everything that was configured for the the network according to R2. After managing that everything was good, i pinged to 172.30.1.1 & 172.30.100.1 and found that it was successful but there was still a problem. When R1 pinged to 172.30.100.1, it completely failed so i examined the route to R2 using show ip route and found that there is no route to network 172.30.100.0/24, so pings to that network will fail. The problem with network was that simple non convergence so i input the configuration to R2 and it was successfully functioning correctly.

Packet Tracer# 7.2.4 Configure RIPv2

For this lab all i did was change the RIPv1 version to RIPv2. RIPv1 is a classfull routing protocol that sends an update to every router with the same subnet mask every 30 seconds, but it doesn't send subnet mask information. RIPv2 does send out subnet mask information (Which was an improvement of RIPv1) to the network every 30 seconds and it's classless. RIPv2 also supports EIGRP , & OSPF, which RIPv1 didn't support for it's networking updating and it also supports VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Mask). I also had to turn off the automatic summarization of the network using the command: no auto summary. I use the command: version 2 to change the RIP version to RIPv2.

Packet Tracer# 7.4.3.2 Routing Table Corruption

In this packet tracer my job was to basically setup a default rip route, setup static routes for the ISP, turn every port status to up, and to setup a rip route. What my first priority was, is to turn on every port status so that there is a valid connection and so that i know if i can ping to the other routers. After doing all of that with the command no shutdown, i went straight with the rip routes. What RIP does is that it sends an update to the routers that you configured every 30 seconds for a network change. So after configuring every router with a RIP route with network (The network Address) i wanted to setup a default origin in the ISP. Since the ISP needed to know what is being changed in the network i had to make that the default information origin. I used the command Default-Information originate in the configuration terminal of ISP to setup the RIP default router. Finally, i made the static routes from ISP to every device that was in the network so i can ping and have communication to them. That's what Routing Table Corruption was basically all about, to fix anything and making sure the network was being updated.
