Module 6: Routing and Routing Protocols

Overview

When teaching Module 6, remind students that routing refers to the directions that are given to move packets from one network to another. These directions, which are also known as routes, can be dynamically given to the router by another router, or they can be statically assigned to the router by an administrator. Make sure students understand static routing.

Module 6 Caution

This information contains fundamental terminology that instructors may need to get the students interested in learning about. Make sure students understand this material so that static and dynamic routing can be compared in future lessons.

•Explain the significance of static routing

•Configure static and default routes

•Verify and troubleshoot static and default routes

•Identify the classes of routing protocols
