Can't get Rip routing (v1) to work

[Weeby]

I've tried everything i could, i set up masks, ips, and all network commands according to my lab properly, but in the simulation tab the ping fails when going from switch to router. I have no idea what i did wrong can someone help me?

Hello,

none of your switches has an IP address configured. From which switch to which router do you need to ping ?

[Weeby]

I should be able to ping from a PC to any other PC, what i meant is in the simulation tab the ping seems to stop when going from switch to a router. Do i need to set ip for its fa ports or anything like that?

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

your PC has the wrong default gateway, it needs to be 10.0.255.254.

That said, RIPv1 doesn't really work well in Packet Tracer. Better use v2, or EIGRP, or OSPF...

[Weeby]

Yeah i know, i looked at some other threads and a lot of people say that. I changed every router to  rip version 2,redid all the network commands, and changed the default gateway on PC4 doesnt seem like anything has changed.  

EDIT: Also i need to make this work through RIP, i am doing a lab about it.

Hello,

I looked at the file again and saw that the IP addresses of all routers were on the wrong interfaces. I changed those, and everything now works, even with RIPv1...

Attached is the revised file...

[Weeby]

Thank you so much! One last thing, what version of packet tracer are you using? Mine doesnt want to open that file.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

I am running version 7.2.2 0418. Packet Tracer versions are downward compatible, so in order to open the file, you need to have either my version or a higher one. Higher versions can open loweer version, not vice versa, unfortunately.

Either way, make sure the IP addressing on your routers looks like below. Also, on PC4, change the default gateway to 10.0.255.254.
