GNS3
Routers Cannot Communicate after Enabling RIPv2
Describe the bug First I configured RIPv2 on three Cisco IOSv15.9(3)M6 routers that are connected to each other. After some time, they cannot receive each other's RIP update request. They also cannot ping each other, and I can't even start a packet capture to see what's going on.
Because I can't even start a packet capture, I suspect this is a problem of GNS3.
GNS3 version and operating system:
- OS: Windows 10
- GNS3 version 2.2.49
- GNS3 Hyper-V VM
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Connect and configure the router interfaces as shown in the following image:
- Use the following command to enable RIPv2 on R1, R2 and R3
router rip
version 2
no auto-summary
and use the network command to add the interfaces that should have RIP activated on.
3. Here are the interface and RIP statuses of R1,2&3.

- Then everything goes well. They communicate and correctly exchange routing information.
- But after some time, the RIP routes are removed from their routing table. The Last Update time on each router shows a long time ago (as shown in the RIP status output).
- When I try to make them ping each other, they won't do.
R3#ping 192.168.2.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.2.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

- They still say they're sending RIP updates, as shown in the output of
show ip protocolanddebug ip rip. - When I start a packet capture, or even add a note on the topology, GNS3 will give me a
404 not founderror. Wireshark will be shown as blank.
