Packet Tracer Lab 7.4.3.2 Reflection

This lab is called routing table corruption. It was a lengthy lab, but it was not difficult to do because the directions were clear. The first thing I had to do in this lab was turn on all the interfaces on the routers starting with R1. Then I had to examine the routing table of R1. After that, I entered the routing protocol on each router using the commands: router rip, network 172.16.0.0, exit respectively. The next step was to configure the default route on a router and use the default-information originate command to propagate the default route to the other routers on the network. After that, I had to configure static routes on the ISP router for the 172.16.1.0, 172.16.2.0, 172.16.3.0 and 172.16.5.0. The final thing I had to do was cable the Fa0/0 interface on R4 to the Fa1/0 interface on R3. All in all, this lab was fairly simple and easy to complete. It taught me how to "corrupt" routes in networks.
