How to Enable and Configure RIP Version 1 (RIPv1) on Cisco Packet Tracer

If you’re getting ready for Cisco exams using Cisco Packet Tracer (PT) or trying to learn more about networks, you might have to set up RIP. RIP, which stands for Routing Information Protocol, helps us figure out what determines the LANs connected to them. Yet, since RIP runs on Version 1 by default, we have to do it ourselves. So, with this protocol, we define the LANs that Routers have. Then, it figures out which Router is closest to the area we’re trying to reach. This way, we can talk to a computer or server on there.

RIP Version 1, also known as RIPv1, uses something called “Hop” to help us get to the target network. With hop logic, we reach the faraway network from our nearby LAN in the quickest path. That’s why we call this action “Distance Vector” routing. In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up RIP / RIPv1 using Cisco Packet Tracer.
