Lab 9.1.2 Gateway of Last Resort

Objective

· Configure RIP routing and add default routes (gateways) to the routers.

Step 1

a) Disable Simple Mode and open a terminal session to each router and configure the routers with basic IP addresses. Do the same for the PCs.

b) Test connectivity between the PCs by creating a packet from PC0 to PC1 in Simulation Mode. Did it succeed?

c) Display the routing table and find the problem.

Step 2

a) Go back to Topology Mode.

b) On each router, create a static default route to the other router.

c) Go to Simulation Mode and run the simulation again. Did the packets succeed this time?

d) Display the routing table and see the difference.
