Study Notes
Directly Connected Networks
- A router can be directly connected to a network by configuring an interface with an IP address on a specific network.
- This is like having a house with a driveway connected to a street, where the router knows exactly how to reach that street.
- Router 2 is directly connected to 10.12.0.0 and 10.23.0.0 networks because its interfaces are configured with IP addresses with 24-bit masks.
Adding a Route
- A new switch was created and connected to Router 2, and an IP address of 192.168.50.2 with a 24-bit mask was assigned to the interface gig 0/0.
- This adds a new route to the router's routing table, allowing it to reach the 192.168.50.0 network.
Configuring an Interface
- To configure an interface on a Cisco router, use the command
configure terminal
and then specify the interface, such asinterface gigabit 0/0
. - The IP address and mask are specified, and the interface is brought up with the
no shutdown
command.
Routing Table
- The
show ip route
command displays the IPv4 routing table on a Cisco router. - The
show ip route connected
command displays only the connected networks.
Network Address Space
- RFC 1918 address space includes 10.anything, 172.16-31.anything, and 192.168.anything.
- The 192.168.50.0 network was chosen for the demo, with a 24-bit mask.
DHCP and Network Segments
- Devices on a network segment need to agree on the network address space, including the first three octets.
- DHCP can be used to hand out this information automatically and ensure all devices are correct.
Router Knowledge
- A router can know how to reach a network by being directly connected to it.
- The next challenge is configuring the router to forward packets to networks it is not directly connected to, which can be achieved using static routes.
