By Default, Router Will Learn The Directly Connected Network

The document discusses routing and static routing. Routing is the process of sending packets between networks using routers. Static routing requires manually configuring routing tables on routers with the networks they can reach. This document provides an example of two routers, R1 and R2, with their static routing tables only listing the directly connected networks. To route packets to indirect networks, their routing tables must be manually updated through static routes.

ROUTING:

Process of sending packets from one network to another network is called Routing

Router will not do broadcast. Router will do only unicast

Router finds the best path to forward the packets

Routing are two Types

1. Static Routing
2. Dynamic Routing

Static Routing:

By Default, router will learn the directly connected network.


Router R1 will know 1.0 and 2.0 network

Router R2 will know 2.0 and 3.0 network.

If we ping 1.1 from PC A, it will get reply

If we ping 2.1 from PC A, it will get reply


But if we ping 3.1 or 2.2 ip add prom PCA, it will be timed out. Because, the router R2 will not reply
to the packets from PCA. Why??

Routers always maintain the routing table, ie know network and how to sent the packets

Eg. R1 Router routing table

192.168.1.0 F0/0 – (router know 192.168.1.0 network and any packets comes for this particular
network; it will be forwarded via F0/0 port)

192.168.2.0 f0/1 – same as above

R2 Router Routing Table

192.168.2.0 - f0/0 –

192.168.3.0 – F 0/1 – Router knows 3.0 network and if any packets came for this network will be
forwarded via F 0/1 network

In R2 Routing Table information, it don’t have any info about 1.0 network, hence it cannot reply to
PC A packets, So it will be timed out.

Static Route allows you to Educate the Router

We need to tell the router about the indirectly connected network address

Default route act as catch all.


Refer R1 Routing Table - In the routing table 192.168.1.0 – last octect is 0. It tells that it can be any ip
in that network. Eg 192.168.1.1 or 1.2, any number can come in the place of 0. It refers to the total
network.

If we Write 0.0.0.0 f1/2 – it means any unknow network will be forwarded via f1/2 port. This is
done, because it will be difficult to write each routing information in the router. But there are some
disadvantage it this
