Packet Tracer Exploration: Configure RIPv2 7.2.4.2

This packet tracer exploration activity also had the same network topology as the previous chapter 7. First I was required to upgrade the network to RIPv2. I examined the operation of RIPv2 from the CLI tab by issuing "Show ip protocols". I noticed the version of the RIP updates being sent and received. I then issued the "show ip route" command. There were missing routes on R1 and R3 plus the multiple paths to 172.30.0.0/16 on R2. I was ready to configure the routers for RIPv2 In each router i issued router rip, then I entered the command "version 2". Then I used the command "clear ip route" in order to force the routers to rebuild their routing tables so they can converge. I proceeded to examine the operation of RIPv2 with automatic summarization by using the command debug ip rip. I then disabled the automatic summarization by using the command no-auto summary. Finally, I examined RIPv2 updates in simulation mode, so i can examine the PDU information at layer 3, 4, and 7 to observe the exchange process.
