RIP Routing Protocol for Network + (N10-008)

This self-paced course builds a clear understanding of the RIP Routing Protocol so you can configure, verify, and troubleshoot distance vector routing in small to midsize networks. You will see how the Routing Information Protocol uses hop count as its metric, where it fits, and how to apply best practices to avoid loops and stale updates.

What You Will Work Through

You start by dissecting the RIP Protocol fundamentals and clarifying the differences between RIPv1 and RIPv2, including how and when they send updates. You will also compare RIPv2 features such as classless routing and authentication to earlier behavior so you know which version to deploy and why.

Key Topics Covered

• Configuring RIPv2 from scratch and verifying route exchang...
