Abstract: This paper gives elaborate descriptions on the implementation of two routing protocols namely: Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).  It also covers Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLMS) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and Domain Name Server configurations. With dynamic routing protocols, a router has the ability to determine which path to select when routing a packet this is achieved through a frequent update of the routing table by the router using information provided by different networks in a giving set up about their locations. The paper also demonstrates how IP addresses are conserved using Variable Length Subnet Masking.

Keywords: RIP, OSPF, DHCP, HTTP, DNS
