CN LAB: 07 (Dynamic Routing)
EXPERIMENT NAME: Dynamic Routing Configuration using RIP
Version-1: Comparison with Static Routing.
OBJECTIVE: This lab aims to configure three routers in a delta
connection using RIP Version-1, observe their routing behaviour
and output, and compare it with static routing to understand the
differences in network adaptability and route selection.
THEORY: RIPv1 uses local broadcasts to share routing
information. These updates are periodic in nature, occurring, by
default, every 30 seconds. To prevent packets from circling around
a loop forever, both versions of RIP solve counting to infinity by
placing a hop count limit of 15 hops on packets. Any packet that
reaches the sixteenth hop will be dropped. RIP supports up to six
equal-cost paths to a single destination. The equal-cost path is the
path where the metric is the same (Hop count).

CONCLUSION: Both static routing and RIPv1 was configured
using a delta connection. In rip, the shortest route was selected
automatically. But in the static connection, we need to specify all
the networks with the next hop. Also in rip if one path was
destroyed it searched for an available route to the destination and
sent the data, which wasn’t the case with static routing.
