Lab 8.4.1 - Investigating The Routing Table Lookup Process

The document discusses investigating the routing table lookup process and determining level 1 and level 2 routes. It observes routes being added and deleted from the routing table when an interface is enabled. It examines the routing table on router R1 to identify level 1 routes, which include the directly connected network as well as the ultimate route with no next hop. Level 2 routes are reached by traversing a level 1 parent route. The document also explores classful routing behavior and determines child routes of the 172.16.0.0/16 network require 16 bits to match for packet forwarding.

Lab 8.4.

1: Investigating the Routing Table Lookup Process

Task 5: Observe Routes Being Deleted and Added to the Routing Table.

Step 1: View the routing table on the R1 router.

What networks are shown in the routing table?

Step 5: Enable the Serial0/0/0 interface and observe the debug output.

Why is the route to 172.16.2.0/24 added first?


Why is there a delay before the other routes are added?

Task 6: Determine Level 1 and Level 2 Routes

Scenario A: Level 1 and Level 2 Routes

Step 1: Examine the R1 routing table.

Which of these routes are level 1 routes?


Why are these routes level 1 routes?
Are any of the level 1 routes ultimate routes?
Why is this route an ultimate route?
Are any of the level 1 routes parent routes?
Why is this route a level 1 parent route?
Which of the routes are level 2 routes?
Why are these routes level 2 routes?

Scenario B: Classful and Classless Routing Behavior

Task 2: Enable Classful Routing Behavior on the Routers

Step 3: Ping from R2 to PC3 and observe the results.

What are the child routes of the 172.16.0.0/16 parent network?


How many bits in the destination address must match in order for a packet to be
forwarded using one of the child routes? ________
Does the destination address of the ping packets match any of the child routes of
172.16.0.0/16? ________
