Packet Tracer Lab 1.3.2.2 Reflection

This lab is centered around how to work with routing tables and how they are created manually. The main focus of the activity are routers R1 and R2 and the networks configured on their ports. The things I learned from this lab are how a routing table functions and it's main purpose in a router's configuration, in addition to that, I have also learned how a router manages the directly connected routes in the routing table. The first thing I had to do was enable the interfaces on R1 that had been shutdown. In order to do that, I had to access the CLI and follow the commands given to me by the instructions. After I enabled the FastEthernet and Serial interfaces, I had to verify the interfaces through pings. This lab was a good activity for me and it gave me a good idea of how to deal with possible complications I may face in configuring a router which include enabling previously disabled ports.
