RIP Lab Configuration On GNS3

This is a simple tuttorial for configuring RIP on GNS3, i have create a small lab of three routers and two ethernet switches on GNS3 as shown in network diagram.

RIP routing protocol have simple configuration, you need a just network command to advertised the connected networks.
Configuration for R1:

R1#conf t R1(config)#int s1/0
 R1(config-if)#ip add 100.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
 R1(config-if)#no shut
 R1(config-if)#int s1/1
 R1(config-if)#ip address 20.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
 R1(config-if)#no shut
 R1(config-if)#ex
 RIP Configuration Commands for R1:
 R1(config)#router rip
 R1(config-router)#version 2
 R1(config-router)#network 20.1.1.0
 R1(config-router)#network 100.1.1.0


 Configuration for R2:

R2#config t
R2(config)#int f1/0
R2(config-if)#ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.0.0
R2(config-if)#no shu
R2(config-if)#int s2/0
R2(config-if)#ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
R2(config-if)#no shut
R2(config)#router rip
R2(config-router)#version 2
R2(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
R2(config-router)#network 100.1.1.0
Configuration for R2:
R3(config)#int s2/0

R3(config-if)#ip add 20.1.1.2 255.255.255.0 

R3(config-if)#int f1/0

R3(config-if)#ip add 10.2.2.1 255.255.255.0

R3(config-if)#ex

R3(config)#router rip

R3(config-router)#ver 2

R3(config-router)#network 10.2.2.0

R3(config-router)#network 20.1.1.0

RIP Verification Commands:

 Show ip route command should display all RIP networks and end to end ping should be successful.
