May 12, 2023 at 21:57 comment added Shadi Yes, I know. Thanks for being more accurate. What I meant is that without RIP on all routers, there is no way -in our example case- for the routers to get the needed routing information to get into the subnets behind other routers.
May 12, 2023 at 12:46 comment added Ron Maupin RIP is a routing protocol. Routing protocols do not route packets, they only exchange routing information with neighbors running the same routing protocol.

May 12, 2023 at 10:33 comment added Shadi I know it gets it to work, but my question boils down to why it would not work with a static route on one router and RIP on the other as long as we have directly connected routes "C". I can see now that the static route is OK and will get us one way to the other router. but the RIP will not. Why? Because We only know from the RIP or the directly connected route about the other router BUT NOT about the subnet behind it. Hence we need RIP or static on all other routers. Thanks.
