Point-to-Point Network Table

Refer to the Point-to-Point network map to fill in the Point-to-Point network table (Table 3-4). We have completed the first column by listing the names of all the nodes on NET2. Each node is assigned an IP address that is unique within the network. Only the node portions of the IP addresses are listed because we have listed the IP network address at the top of the table. In the third column of Table 3-4,note that node G is a central administrative node. In the fourth column, nodes B and G are indicated as gateway nodes. For the Implementation Priority column, the nodes are ranked in the recommended order of configuration.

Point-to-Point Internet Routing Table

The purpose of the Point-to-Point internet routing table (Table 3-5)is to list all possible networks that can be reached from each gateway node on a Point-to-Point network, which is NET2 in the example. (Note that there may be more than one route to a network.)

As shown on the internetwork map, NET2 includes two gateway nodes, B and G. In the IP Node Address column of the Point-to-Point internet routing table, the node portion of each gateway node’s IP address is listed. The Point-to-Point internet routing table indicates that NET2 nodes using node B as a gateway can reach NET1 in one hop, NET4 in two hops, and so on.
