Summary

In this lab we configured a static network between Eastern and Western networks. We also subnetted the networks into sizes 300, 200,100,50 subnets. In order to configure this static network we had to manually enter the routing tables of the two routers.

When a router receives a packet, what steps does it go through to decide where to send the packet to next?

The router looks at the destination address and compares it to it's routing table to determine where to send the packet next.
