Activity 7.5.2: RIPv2 Challenge Configuration Lab

In this packet tracer activity, its similar to the previous one.  There are three routers, four switches, and five host. My first task was to subnet the address space. By doing this, I started off by looking over the network requirements that is included with the activity directions. Afterwards, I assigned the subnetwork addresses to the topology diagram. I assigned the subnet 192.168.40.0 network to the HQ LAN1. My task was then to Determine the interface addresses. First I must assign the appropriate addresses to the device interfaces. After that, I began to cable the network. I was ready to perform basic router configuration to the devices which was BRANCH, HQ, and ISP routers. I configured the router hostname, Disabled the DNS lookup, Configured an EXEC mode password, configured a banner, configured a password of console connections, and configured a password for telnet. I then configured and activated serial and fast ethernet addresses., per each router. I then configured the ethernet interface of PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, and PC5, along with their IP addresses. I then verified the connectivity to next-hop device. Afterwards, I configured RIPv2 routing on the branch router. HQ router, then static routing on the ISP router. Finally, I verified the configurations.
