Aim: Configure a Network using Distance Vector Routing

protocol(STATIC)

Apparatus (Software):packet tracer software

Theory:In computer communication theory relating to packet-
switched networks,a distance-vector routing protocol is one of the
two major classes of routing protocols, theother major class being
the link-state protocol. Distance-vector routing protocols
usethe Bellman–Ford algorithm, Ford–Fulkerson algorithm, or DUAL
FSM (in the case of CiscoSystems’s protocols) to calculate paths. A
distance-vector routing protocol requires that arouter informs its
neighbors of topology changes periodically. Compared to link-
stateprotocols, which require a router to inform all the nodes in a
network of topology changes,distance-vector routing protocols have
less computational complexity andmessage overhead.The Routing
Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-
vector routing protocols, which employs the hop count as a routing
metric. RIP prevents routing loops byimplementing a limit on
the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to
adestination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15.
This hop limit, however,also limits the size of networks that RIP
can support. A hop count of 16 is considered aninfinite distance, in
other words the route is considered unreachable.
