RIPv2 Exercise for TSHOOT Exam

R1 & R2
------------
router rip
no validate-update-source

R1
----
ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 f0/0

R2
-----
ip route 10.1.12.0 255.255.255.0 f0/0
.

RIP can fit up to 25 networks & subnets in each update

ip default-network in RIP & EIGRP

The topology is based on Narbik's CCIE RS WB and cross reference to Routing TCP/IP Volume I. The result is the below notes. ^_^

RIP Default Origination & ip split-horizon

The scenario is :IP Addressing :
--------------------
R1 - s0/0 = 10.0.0.1/8 ; lo1 = 1.0.0.1/8
R2 - s0/0 = 10.0.0.2/8 ; lo1 = 2.0.0.2/8
R3 - s0/0 = 10.0.0.3/8 ; lo1 = 3.0.0.3/8

Let's configure rip and default-information originate on R1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
router rip
network 1.0.0.0
network 10.0.0.0
default-information originate
distribute-list prefix DEFAULT out
!
ip prefix-list DEFAULT seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0

Let's configure rip on R2 and enable ip split-horizon on R2's s0/0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
router rip
network 2.0.0.0
network 10.0.0.0
!
interface Serial0/0
ip address 10.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
encapsulation frame-relay
ip split-horizon
serial restart-delay 0
frame-relay map ip 10.0.0.1 201 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 10.0.0.3 201
no frame-relay inverse-arp
end

Let's configure rip on R3 and enable ip split-horizon on R3's s0/0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
router rip
network 3.0.0.0
network 10.0.0.0
!
interface Serial0/0
ip address 10.0.0.3 255.0.0.0
encapsulation frame-relay
ip split-horizon
serial restart-delay 0
frame-relay map ip 10.0.0.1 301 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 10.0.0.2 301
no frame-relay inverse-arp
end

Let's see the results on R1, R2 and R3
R1:

R3#

It's working fine.
Let's play on R2 and R3. What happen if we disable ip split-horizon on R2 and R3?
Yes, It will occur routing loops and we can see on R1.
R1:

So now, we are clear on that we must enable ip split-horizon on R2 and R3. Cool!

But, Let's say if the question ask you something like :
Configure R2 and R3, but don't enable ip split-horizon on R2 and R3 to prevent default routes advertising back to R1. :)

Well! We can configure on R2 and R3 by using ip prefix-list.
R2 and R3
---------------
ip prefix-list NO_DEFAULT seq 5 deny 0.0.0.0/0
ip prefix-list NO_DEFAULT seq 10 permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32
!
router rip
distribute-list prefix NO_DEFAULT out Serial0/0

Let's see the output on R1, R2 and R3.
