Equipment needed:
Two Cisco routers with one Ethernet port and one serial port One Cisco router with two serial ports Cisco IOS 10.0 or higher A PC running a terminal emulation program Two Cisco DTE/DCE crossover cables One Cisco rolled cable

FYI: The routing update interval must be the same value on neighboring routers.

Monitoring and Troubleshooting The configuration IGRP is a Cisco proprietary protocol and was designed to overcome the 15 hop limitation of RIP. IGRP defaults to100 hop and can have a maximum hop count of 255. Show the IP routing table on RouterA with the show ip route command.
RouterA#show ip route

Find the routing table entries received using IGRP From RouterA, watch the routing packets being passed using the debug ip igrp transactions command. Notice that on interface serial 0, the router does not advertise the networks it learned from RouterB (152.1.1.0 and 193.1.1.0) but on all other interfaces, those networks are advertised. This is how split horizons works when split horizons is enabled, the router will never advertise a route back in the direction from which it was learned.
RouterA#debug ip igrp events IGRP protocol debugging is on

Disable split horizons on RouterA using the interface configuration command, no ip splithorizon.
RouterA(config)#int s0 RouterA(config-if)#no ip split-horizon RouterA(config-if)#

From RouterA, watch the routing updates being passed using the debug ip igrp transactions command. Now we see that all routes are being advertised out serial 0, including the routes learned from RouterB on serial 0.

Router Configuration
Configure all routers with the correct hostname and IP configuration for their interfaces as per the network diagram Bring all configured interfaces up. User a clockrate of 250000 for the DCE end of the serial cables. Configure all routers to use the dynamic routing protocol IGRP. Use an AS number of 100. Advertise the appropriate networks for all routers. Configure all routers for classless IP. Ensure both routers can ping the others e0 interface. Check to see that all routers are showing IGRP updates in their routing tables.
