Configuring Routing with the CLI | Packet Tracer Network Simulator

Dynamic routing protocols

When we learned about static routing we found that a lot of manual configuration was involved and a change to the topology also required manual configuration changes. Dynamic protocols work by advertising routes to each other.

The configuration is the opposite of static routing; here, we enable dynamic routing on the required interfaces. The routing protocol then forms "neighborship" with other routers and sends them the directly-connected routes and other received routes. In this way, all routers exchange updates with one another. When a topology change occurs, those updates are also sent out by routers that learn about this loss of connectivity.

Configuring RIP with the GUI

Packet Tracer offers a GUI to configure a dynamic routing protocol called RIP (Routing Information Protocol). This GUI section is similar to the static routing section. It has only one textbox for entering the network address of the directly connected network.
