+# Lab Exam Exercise: Network Topology using RIP and OSPF
+
+## Project Overview
+This project demonstrates the configuration of a network topology using RIP v1 and OSPF routing protocols in Cisco Packet Tracer.\
+The objective of the lab was to design two Local Area Networks (LANs) connected by routers, each using a different routing protocol, and to ensure communication between the LANs through proper routing. The network design was simulated and tested in Cisco Packet Tracer to verify connectivity.
+
+## Topology Details
+The network consists of :
+
+ **LAN 1 :**
+- 5 PCs connected to Switch 1
+- Router 1 connected to Switch 1, configured with RIP v1.
+
+**LAN 2 :**
+- 5 PCs connected to Switch 2
+- Router 2 connected to Switch 2, configured with OSPF
+WAN: A serial connection between Router 1 and Router 2 for inter-router communication.
+
+## IP Address Configuration
+
+**LAN 1 :** `192.168.1.0/24`
+- **PCs :** `192.168.1.xxx` (where xxx is the last three digits of the roll number)
+- **Router 1 LAN interface :** `192.168.1.1`
+
+**LAN 2 :** `192.168.2.0/24`
+- **PCs :** `192.168.2.xxx`
+- **Router 2 LAN interface :** `192.168.2.1`
+
+**WAN:** `192.168.10.0/30`
+- **Router 1 WAN interface :** `192.168.10.1`
+- **Router 2 WAN interface :** `192.168.10.2`
+
+## Routing Protocols Configuration
+**Router 1 :** Configured with RIP v1
+- **Networks :** `192.168.1.0`, `192.168.10.0`
+
+**Router 2 :** Configured with OSPF
+- **Networks :** `192.168.2.0`, `192.168.10.0`
+
+## Simulation and Testing
+The network was tested using ping and traceroute commands to verify connectivity between devices in LAN 1 and LAN 2. Cisco Packet Tracer's simulation mode was used to trace the packet routes between the two LANs.
+
+## Files in the Repository
+- **Lab_Exam_Report.docx:** A detailed report of the project including network design, IP configuration, and routing protocols.
+- **Screenshots:** Images capturing the network topology and successful message transmission.
+- **Exercise_2.pkt:** The Packet Tracer file containing the configured network.
+
+## How to Run
+1. Open the Exercise_2.pkt file in Cisco Packet Tracer.
+2. Explore the network topology, check device IP configurations, and inspect the routing table on both routers.
+3. Use simulation mode in Cisco Packet Tracer to test message transmission across the network.
+
+## Conclusion
+This lab successfully demonstrates how to configure a network with multiple routing protocols (RIP v1 and OSPF) and ensure proper packet routing between two separate LANs. The configuration was verified through successful message transmission in Cisco Packet Tracer.
