Packet Tracer Lab 7.1.5

This Packet Tracer Activity is relevant to verifying non convergence through commands. As you should already know, updates are not sent across classful network boundaries with RIPv1. This Packet Tracer utilizes the ip route, ping, and debug ip rip commands. Two extensions are implemented in order to verify and enable RIPv1, the first is the subnet mask, allowing a 32 bit mask in the rip route entry. As a result, the receiving router no longer depends upon the subnet mask of the inbound interface or the classful mask when determining the subnet mask for a route. The latter allows a router to make better decisions regarding the next hop address. With help from these two extensions your a able to successfully verify the non convergence of the network, of course you still need to access the convergence through the CLI. The commands should never be neglected and are vital to the completion of this assignment.
