RIP basic question

[jadiutori1]

Hi All,

Newbie here.  I have two routers back to back.  When using static routes, I can ping back and forth no problem.  So I'm thinking the cable is good and the DTE/DCE settings are correct.  Next, I delete static routes and configure RIP.  At first there was nothing, but then I read some article that said try "no validate-update-source".  That helped.  It got some traffic back and forth.  The problem now is the routing table in Joe1700 does not have entry for 11 network (but does for network 12), and the routing table in Joe1601 does not have entry for the 10 network (but does have an entry for 192).  See diagram and configs below.  Scroll all the way down to see routing tables.

Any ideas?  Thank you !!!

Hey,

Joe1700 and Joe1601 are not in the same network and you are forcing each router to accept RIP updates though they are not in the same network with 'no validate-update-source' command.

I think Joe1700 will not send RIP update for 10.0.0.0 network over the same interface(10.0.0.0). It believes that the other end router would also to be in the same network. Same logic for Joe1601 too.

Can you please make them part of the same network? Either 10 or 11.

Hi Cisco Freak,

Your suggestion worked.  I'm guessing I can remove the "no valid-update-source" command as well.  I will give that a try.

Thank you !!!!!
