This is the RIPV2 Routing Protocol program instructions. You have a list of 7 routers you can run. The router configuration filenames are available in the 'Routers' folder. To start a router complete the following steps:
-
Open terminal in Linux and change directory to project workspace. You can use the following command to change directory:
labbox>cd "project folder name"
-
Once directory is changed, run the following command to start up a router:
python3 RIPv2_Daemon.py Routers/router"X".txt
where "X" is any number between 1 and 7 inclusive.
-
Once done, you will see the routing table of the router being printed. This means that the router is alive.
-
To close the router, simply close the terminal.
