Plan the topology
I organized four routers around point-to-point links and mapped the networks that each router needed to advertise and learn.
Multi-Router RIP Network
Designing the topology was only the start. The real work was creating a clean address plan, configuring dynamic routing, and proving that every route was being learned correctly.

Project overview
I configured a four-router topology in Cisco Packet Tracer and used RIP to enable IPv4 route exchange across point-to-point connections. The project connected network design, address planning, router configuration, and command-line verification into one complete workflow.
Engineering approach
From idea to working system.
Build the address plan
I applied /30 subnetting to the router-to-router links, creating focused address ranges for each point-to-point connection.
Configure and verify
I configured RIP through Cisco IOS, then inspected routing tables to confirm that routes propagated across the full topology.

What I learned
This project strengthened my understanding of how logical address planning and routing protocols work together - and how to verify a network from the router's point of view.
