Title: Implementing Static and Dynamic Routing (RIP & OSPF)
Objective:
1. Define and describe the concept of routing and its purpose in network communications.
2. Explain the difference between static routing and dynamic routing.
3. Configure static routing in a network topology using Cisco Packet Tracer.
4. Configure dynamic routing in a network topology using Cisco Packet Tracer.
Theory:
Routers make these decisions using a routing table, which contains network paths and interfaces. When
a packet arrives at a router, the device checks its routing table for the optimal path and
forwards the packet accordingly. The routing table can be populated either manually (static
routing) or automatically (dynamic routing). Routers in a dynamic routing environment
continuously exchange information, allowing them to detect and adapt to changes.
Common dynamic routing protocols include Routing Information Protocol (RIP),
which uses a distance-vector algorithm, and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), which
uses a link-state algorithm. OSPF is a dynamic routing protocol based on the link-state
algorithm. Route redistribution allows routers to share routing information between
different protocols (e.g., OSPF and RIP).

Q/A for the tasks:
Examine the current router IDs in the topology.
Since no router IDs or loopback interfaces have been configured on the three routers, the
router
ID for each router is determined by the highest IP address of any active interface.
What is the router ID for R1?
What is the router ID for R2?
What is the router ID for R3?
Ans:
R1’s Router ID: 192.168.10.5 (highest IP on R1's active interfaces)
R2’s Router ID: 192.168.10.9 (highest IP on R2's active interfaces)
R3’s Router ID: 192.168.10.10 (highest IP on R3's active interfaces)
After configuring loopback interfaces, the new Router IDs will not take effect until the OSPF
process is restarted, either by reloading the router or using the command clear ip ospf process.
R1’s Router ID: 10.1.1.1
R2’s Router ID: 10.2.2.2
R3’s Router ID: 10.3.3.3
