Configuration of Routers in CISCO Packet Tracer

Router: 

A router is a device that analyzes the contents of data packets transmitted within a network or to another network. Routers determine whether the source and destination are destination are on the same network or whether data must be transferred from one network type to another, which requires encapsulation the data packet with routing protocol header information for the new network type.

Advantages of Router:

• It provides connection between different network architectures.
• It can choose best path across the inter network using dynamic routing algorithms.
• It provides sophistication routing, flow control and traffic isolation.
• They are configurable which allows network manager to make policy based on routing decisions.

                                                      Configuration of Router

Configuration of Router:

•  Configuration of Fast Ethernet Interface:
• Type enable (enters global configuration mode)
• Type config t (enters into configuration mode)
• Type int gig slot/port (configures gigabit port)
• Type ip address ip_address (configures IP address to the network)
• Type no shut (changes the gigabit ethernet state to up)
• Type exit (exits configuration mode)
• Router Configuration:
• Type config t (enters into configuration mode)
• Type ip route {destination address} {subnet mask} {next hop adrdess}
• Type end (Exit the router configuration)

REPEAT ABOVE STEPS FOR ALL THE ROUTERS.
