Cisco CCNA - Static Routing and RIP, by Chris Bryant covers the essential theory and configurations that are related to static routing and the two versions of RIP. Focusing on real-world scenarios and examples, this video series will help you understand these important topics and help you prepare for your CCNA exam.
Learn about static routing theory and configuration as well as distance vector protocol behavior including split horizon and route poisoning. Other topics include RIP theory and version differences, RIP limitations, RIP timers, show ip protocols and floating static routes.
This video series starts off with a short review of frame relay and an introduction to loopback interfaces.
Chris goes right into examples, showing you commands, configurations and what you need to pay attention to on your network.
Later he shows you how and when it is appropriate to troubleshoot with debug ip packet. And explains how you can use the debug commands to learn from and prepare for your exam.
Runtime: 18 min
Part 2 continues with static routing and the ip route command, used to create static routes. With helpful study tips and exam insights, Chris goes over the details you need to be familiar with to master static routing.
Chris also illustrates a basic but important principle that many network admins forget about; through an example he shows that it’s not enough for the local router to have a route to the remote network.
The video ends with a discussion and an example of a default static route.

This video starts with a discussion of default static routes and two major purposes that they serve.
The concept of scalability is also introduced and Chris explains where static routes fit in terms of scalability.
Moving right into distance vector routing, Chris briefly introduces RIP and IGRP.
He then discusses routing loops along with the two distance vector routing loop prevention behaviors: split horizon and route poisoning.
Runtime: 15 min
Split horizon and route poisoning start off the discussion. Chris explains what route poisoning is, what it does and why.
Chris then shows you how to configure RIP and how to deal with the two versions of this same protocol.
Learn about host masks, loopback interfaces and addresses, the no auto summary command, and other topics that are included on the new CCNA exam.
Runtime: 17 min
Chris continues to show you how to configure RIP, going over all the different commands that you will need to know for your exam and for the real world.
Learn all the RIP details including RIP timers, administrative distance, the classful and classless versions and most importantly the default version of RIP, which you need to remember for your exam.
Chris also shows you the debug command for RIP and the clear ip route* command.
Runtime: 23 min
Learn about RIP timers as well as when it is appropriate to adjust them. Chris goes over the theory and gives you some real world tips on invalid, holddown and flush times.
Chris also goes back to the distance metric and the administrative distance, that were introduced in the previous video.
Next Chris shows you how to configure a static route as a backup for RIP, how to maintain load balancing and lastly he explains the theory behind permanent route.
