Hello, I am still pretty new to using Cisco Packet Tracer so sorry about the simplicity of this question
I am currently attempting to configure RIP on two routers connected by a switch.
For the network I was told to use 172.16.128.0/17
And so I made the subnets of (Due to needing to allow expansion for other departments): 172.16.136.0/21 and 172.16.144.0/21
Router0 (172.16.136.0 & 192.168.1.0)
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config-router)#version 2
Router(config-router)#no auto-summary
Router(config-router)#network 172.16.136.0
Router(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0
Router(config-router)#exit
Exact same for Router1, just changed the network values to 172.16.144.0 and 192.168.2.0
But looking at both routers, no RIP connection was ever established, can someone help explain why?

There is one mistake in your config.
You used 192.168.1.1 in one router and you used 192.168.2.1 in the other one. They are not on the same network therefore they will not form relatioship. You need to either change the left router to 192.168.2.2 or the right router to 192.168.1.2

Thank you so much!
I would also like to ask, if lets say there was a 3rd router, that router would just take in the address of 192.168.1.3 if I just used the 1.x network right?
