RIP Routing Protocol & Sub-Commands for Cisco CCNA

About this course

This course will help you understand the RIP protocol and its sub-commands for certification purposes & real-world experience.Here, I use the GNS3 & VIRL simulator & emulator.The course itself is very simple to understand and will allow the student to grasp the basic concept of what RIP (Routing Internet Protocol) is all about and how to apply it.Keep in mind that this is RIPv2, which supports VLSM, and it is a true Distance Vector Routing Protocol, which you would need to type the “no auto-summary” command.Also, this course will give you why it is used for smaller networks due to its limitations of only fifteen (15) hops.I know this course will give you a broad understanding of RIP and will help you attain the knowledge needed on when and how to use RIP.DISCLAIMER: Please note that the simulators/emulators used in this course are not part of the course. It is the student’s responsibility to have these to practice with. The Cisco Packet Tracer and/or VIRAL (Virtual Internet Routing Lab) are Cisco proprietary software and can only be obtained through Cisco. It is up to each student to obtain the simulator/emulator of their choice to study along with this course. Students have other options like GNS3, BOSOM, or Live Equipment.
