This lab is part of my new  Boot Camp 2.0  work book, the idea of this work
book is to explore every option within every item in the blueprint, this lab
covers RIPv2 ONLY.

The combination of my  Advanced CCIE Routing and Switching 2.0 ,
Troubleshooting Work Book, which contains 10 six-eight hour Troubleshooting
labs and my new  Boot Camp 2.0  work book will increase your chances of
passing this  ridiculously easy  certification.

How long does it take to complete this lab?

It all depends on how prepared you are, if you NOT prepared and you are at a
CCNP level it can take up to 7 hours to complete, some students don t even
complete the entire lab. But if you are almost ready, it should NOT take you
longer than 4 hours to complete this lab.

How should I do this lab?

My recommendation:

- You have a topology.doc file, print the file and look at the topology
as you configure the lab.
- You have a  initial-config  directory, which contains all the initial
configuration files, open the  RIPv2-Init.txt  and copy and paste the
configuration onto the routers and begin the lab.
- You should use the  Questions.pdf  when you are configuring the lab,
and before you move on to another task, read the  Questions-Answers.pdf
and
compare the answers.

Once you complete this lab, you should have confidence about your knowledge
of this routing protocol.

Please do not hesitate to share this lab with friends or even share it on
your blog (If you have one).

Distance command pertaining to external routes in eigrp, you cannot change the distance of a particular route alone  in EIGRP. Distance Command allows you to change for all external routes at once BUT not for a single route.! For that reason OSPF just Rocks.!

router os 1
distance 171 <ROUTER-ID> <WILDCARD MASK> Accesslist allows you to selectively change the AD for any route in OSPF.!!!

R1[Fa0/0]—–[Fa0/0]R2
R1
router rip
ver 2
no auto
redistribute ospf 1 metric X
int fa0/0
ip summary address Y.Y.0.0 255.255.255.0

Now the summarized route at R2 will have a metric of X+1. Without summarization it has a metric of X.!
