Wireless Sensor Network

Understanding, Reading and Analyzing Routing Table


of a network

Aim:
To create a network and set the routing path, understand and analyze the routing table of the networks

Software Used:
Cisco Packet Tracer 7.2.0.026

Theory:
A routing table is similar to a distribution map in package delivery. Whenever a node needs
to send data to another node on a network, it must first know where to send it.
If the node cannot directly connect to the destination node, it has to send it via other nodes
along a route to the destination node.
Each node needs to keep track of which way to deliver various packages of data, and for this
it uses a routing table.
A routing table is a database that keeps track of paths, like a map, and uses these to determine
which way to forward traffic.
A routing table is a data file in RAM that is used to store route information about directly
connected and remote networks. Nodes can also share the contents of their routing table with
other nodes.

The primary function of a router is to forward a packet towards its destination network, which
is the destination IP address of the packet.
To do this, a router needs to search the routing information stored in its routing table.
The routing table contains network/next hop associations. These associations tell a router that
a particular destination can be optimally reached by sending the packet to a specific router
that represents the next hop on the way to the final destination. The next hop association can
also be the outgoing or exit interface to the final destination.
An example of Routing Table

Wireless Sensor Network

Consider the following topology

The ip addresses are configured on the given interfaces of the Routers.

The Routing path is also set using RIP.

The following command is executed in the CLI mode of Router1

Wireless Sensor Network

We get the following Routing information from Router1

C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0


C 192.168.2.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1
R 192.168.3.0/24 [120/1] via 192.168.2.2, 00:00:18, FastEthernet0/1
C 192.168.4.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/1/0

Which is the required output
