Lab Summary: RIPv2 Configuration in Cisco Packet Tracer In this lab, I implemented and tested RIPv2 routing across a multi-router topology using Cisco Packet Tracer. Key configurations include:
- ✅ Assigned hostnames to all devices as per the topology for clarity and identification.
- ✅ Configured router interfaces with IP addresses aligned to the network diagram.
- ✅ Assigned IP addresses to PCs to enable end-to-end connectivity.
- ✅ Enabled RIPv2 on all routers to facilitate dynamic routing.
- ✅ Applied passive interface on R3’s LAN port to prevent routing updates from being sent to internal hosts.
- ✅ Introduced a Rogue router connected to the switch to simulate a security test—verifying that passive interfaces effectively hide internal routing information.
🔍 Skills Demonstrated:
- Routing protocol configuration (RIPv2)
- Passive interface security technique
- IP addressing and subnetting
- Network simulation and troubleshooting

📊 Final Implementation Snapshot
✅ Ping Test: End-to-End Connectivity Verification
Shows successful ping between PCs across routers, confirming RIPv2 routing is operational.
✅Rogue Router: show ip route Output Blocked by Passive Interface
Demonstrates how passive interface configuration prevents internal route visibility to unauthorized devices.
