Problem connection 2 networks with RIP

[AnythingOnNet]

Hello, hope all is good with everyone. i want 2 PCs in different networks to ping each other but it isnt working. PC1 connected with R1 and PC2 connected with R2. not all configurations for rip are working because when i am on R2, im unable to add the network of PC1 ( 11.0.0.0/24) and same with R2, what am i missing ? i typed R2(config)#router rip, then R2(config-router)#network 11.0.0.0 nothing happens and i show ip routes or protocols running, i dont see the network of 11

i've attached the packet tracer file, thanks in advance

Hello @AnythingOnNet 

 You made only one mistake. The RIP need to have the networks connected on the router and you used the remote network

In R1, you need advertise the netwrorks

router rip

network 1.0.0.0

network 10.0.0.0

network 11.0.0.0

And on the Router2 you need to advertise the networks

router rip

network 2.0.0.0

network 10.0.0.0

network 12.0.0.0

You can check on the file attached.

Hello,

When running IGP routing protocols the network statement does NOT in fact advertise any network but it activates the routing protocol on the interface. The interface configured network is what's advertised into the routing domain. This also means that your network statements must match an interface on that local device and not a remote device

So if your router interface IP is 11.0.0.1/24 you can activate RIP and RIP related functionality (to include neighbor establishment and router advertisement) by entering the command below:

router rip

network 11.0.0.0

^as mentioned the above command does NOT advertise the 11.0.0.0 network but rather activates RIP on any interface that falls within that subnet range which includes 11.0.0.1/24. So that interface will not be participating in RIP.

Hope this helps
