Configuring Static and Default Routes vLab (30 points)

Write a paragraph (minimum five college-level sentences) below that summarizes what was accomplished in this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week’s TCO’s and other course material; and just as important, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career. (10 points)

In this lab, we learned how to setup a default gateway through the RIP. We also learned how to set up a static route from router to router. We learned how to view the configuration after the IP addresses have been set up. We also learned how to ping the routers through the static route to make sure that it is all connected and working correctly. In my future career, this will help me if I am setting up large networks, or small networks and decide that I want to do dynamic routing. I will be able to check the connections and know what addresses are being used much easier than before.
