Today’s post gets the most basic part of the lab out of the way: the IP addressing and RIP-2 configuration. The lab problem statement tells you the interfaces, IP addresses, and masks, so the IP address configuration should be relatively straightforward, unless you just haven’t gotten to that topic in your reading so far. Today’s answers include the RIP-2 configuration, which is also pretty straightforward; the only potentially tricky part is the choice of networks to configure in the RIP-2 network commands. The details sit below the fold. I’ll look at the more interesting part 2 answers early next week. Enjoy!
Note that I added a hostname to each router, and added clock rate commands on the serial interfaces in case you want to copy/paste the configs. If you do, make sure and either match your serial cables’ DCE ends to match my choice for the clock rate commands, or put your clock rate commands in the correct places.
For the RIP-2 config on each router, the lab asked that you use version 2 only, so each router needs the version 2 command. The lab also asked that you use the default of auto-summary, so no additional configuration is required to keep that default setting. The only other item to configure for RIP-2 is the choice of network commands: one for each classful network that is directly connected to a given router.
If you have any questions about the config, disagree that it correctly answers the lab requirements, etc, feel free to post.
Example 1: Router R1 Config
Hostname R1 ! Interface F0/0 Ip address 10.9.8.1 255.255.255.128 ! interface S0/0/0 ip address 10.9.6.1 255.255.255.128 clock rate 1536000 ! interface S0/0/1 ip address 10.9.4.1 255.255.255.128 clock rate 1536000

Example 2: Router R2 Config
hostname R2 ! Interface F0/0 Ip address 172.16.32.101 255.255.255.192 ! interface S0/0/0 ip address 172.16.32.202 255.255.255.192 clock rate 1536000 ! interface S0/0/1 ip address 10.9.6.2 255.255.255.128
