Activity 2 2.1(2 Points) Do RIP packets received by routers get forwarded? How do you know? 2.2(2 Points) What is the difference in the RIP packet received by router #1 from router #2 and the RIP packet received by router #3 from router #2? 2.3(2 Points) What version of RIP is running on the routers by default? 2.4 (2 Points) Draw a RIP packet. Label all the fields and give the sizes of each 2.5(2 Points) Name 2 fields specific to a network besides the address. 2.6(4 Points) What are the destination MAC & IP addresses of a RIP packet and why are those particular addresses used? 2.7(10 Points) Record the hop counts in the routing tables. For directly connected networks enter a C. Network A B C D E Router 1 Router 2 Router 3 Router 4
Activity 3 - Creating a routing loops across network A 3.1 (16 Points) In the following table, for each router record the metric in that router's routing table for each network. For directly connected networks enter a C. Network A B C D 3.2(4 Points)Explain any differences between your hypothesis and the actual results. In other words explain what really happened. If there are no differences explain how you came up with your hypothesis. 3.3 (2 Points) Record the routing table of router 1 once the routes have converged. Explain any changes. Activity 4 Another loop 4.1 (16 Points) In the following table, for each router record the metric in that router's routing table for each network. For directly connected networks enter a C. Network A B D 4.2 (4 Points) Explain any differences between your hypothesis and the actual results. In other words explain what really happened. If there are no differences explain how you came up with your hypothesis. 4.3(2 Points) Record the routing table of router 1 once the routes have converged. Explain any changes. Router 1 Router 2 Router 3 Router 4 Router 1 Router 2 Router 3 Router 4
7.2 (4 Points) How does tracert work? Stated another way, what is it doing? Why is tracert useful? Use an actual example in your explanation and provide the relevant screen shot.
