CCNA 2: Routers and Routing Basics v3.1 Instructor Guide – Module 7

Module 7: Distance Vector Routing Protocols

Overview

When teaching module 7, emphasize both skills development and conceptual understanding
of the routing protocols RIP and IGRP. Students must master the basic routing skills and
concepts from this module to be successful in CCNA 3.

Before students begin this section, they should be able to connect to Cisco routers and
switches with serial or Ethernet cables, console and Telnet into a router, and configure TCP/IP
on router interfaces

Module 7 Caution

Many students do not have prior experience with routing protocols. Encourage the students to
spend plenty of time in the labs and to experiment with RIP. Since the labs are complex,
students may require additional time, which may affect the availability of lab equipment.
Provide guidance on how to follow an effective, well-documented, and patient troubleshooting
strategy, since students may need to troubleshoot their labs. If the lab IOS does not support
IGRP, instructors should use EIGRP and emphasize how it is similar to IGRP. EIGRP is
covered in CCNA 3.

Students who complete this module should be able to perform the following tasks:

•

Describe how routing loops can occur in distance vector routing

•

Describe several methods used by distance vector routing protocols to ensure that
routing information is accurate

•

Configure RIP

•

Use the

ip classless

command

•

Troubleshoot RIP

•

Configure RIP for load balancing

•

Configure static routes for RIP

•

Verify RIP

•

Configure IGRP

•

Verify IGRP operation

•

Troubleshoot IGRP
