RIP is not necessary and does not provide any useful functionality in your topology, IMHO; and you would 'learn more' by building the correct static routing tables, setting up default routes, etc.

If you still want to experiment, would recommend you experiment with something more useful than RIP. A freeware version of OSPF would be more instructive because there are more metrics (5, as I recall) in OSPF, in RIP(v1) there are only hop counts.
