Introduction:
This activity is the Packet Tracer equivalent to Lab 5.6.3: RIP Troubleshooting. For detailed instructions, refer to the lab documentation.
Learning Objectives:
- Discover where convergence is not complete.
- Gather information about the non-converged portion of the network along with any other errors.
- Analyze information to determine why convergence is not complete.
- Propose solutions to network errors.
- Implement solutions to network errors.
- Document the corrected network.
Task 1: Troubleshoot the BRANCH router.
Step 1 – Test connectivity and examine the configuration.
Because the network is already configured, start with Task 3 in the lab documentation. Test connectivity and examine the configuration as directed in Lab 5.6.3.
Step 2 – Correct and verify the configuration errors as directed in Lab 5.6.3.
Task 2: Troubleshoot the HQ router.
Step 1 – Test connectivity and examine the configuration as directed in Lab 5.6.3.
Step 2 – Correct and verify the configuration errors as directed in Lab 5.6.3.
Task 3: Troubleshoot the ISP router.
Step 1 – Test connectivity and examine the configuration as directed in Lab 5.6.3.
Step 2 – Correct and verify the configuration errors as directed in Lab 5.6.3.
