Assignment 04 [Fall 2021] Total points
% How does summarizing routes help us? Discuss at least two points in 5/5
short.
Summarizing routes help us in the following ways:
1) Summarizing route will result in more efficient routing table lookup process. This is
because as the entries will be less when searching for a particular route, it will take less
time as we need to match the IP that we are searching for with the group IP. If the IP
matches then instead of searching all the IPs, we can search in that particular group only
which results in the lookup process in the routing table to be much more efficient and faster.
2) As a result of the summarization, the routing tables will be smaller which means that less
RAM is required.
¥% Command: ip route 11.21.31.0 255.255.255.0 s0/0/O 5. What would be the 5/5
administrative distance of a back up route given the above is a primary
route?
State the difference between AD and Cost. 5/5
The difference between AD and Cost are:
1) Every static route has a default AD value of 1. In addition to that every static route has a
Cost of 0.
2) The trustworthiness of a router and a network is determined by AD, whereas the amount
of money which is needed to use a given network is referred by Cost.
¥ Anetwork administrator was given the task to create adefault route 10/10
for a network. However, while configuring, why did he enter the
following two commands and what does 10 represent in the second
command:
Rl (config)
Rl (config s0/0/1 10
The default route going through the serial port s0/0/0 is the primary route having an AD of 1
by default. However the route which is going through s0/0/1 has an AD of 10 meaning that
this is the floating default static route. This route acts as a backup if the primary route is
down.
Feedback
He made a floating default static route as a backup route in case the primary default route
fails. 10 is the AD (link trustworthiness to lower values)
From the figure below, summarize the network addresses to a single 5/5
network address and write a static route command for it.

Configure complete routing in Figure-1 with at least one default route 35/35
and a backup route. If a route is not possible to set up, mention so.
Consider the router on the left side to be the border router. Configure
recursive routes for the router on the left and directly attached routes
for router on the right.
Middle Router: ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.14.1.1
ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 41.11.21.1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.14.1.1
Since this router is attached to the other router from both its two sides therefore there is no
path for a backup route.
Right router: ip route 172.14.1.0 255.255.255.0 s0/0
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 0/0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0
Since this router has only one link attached to it so no backup route can be configured.
Left router: ip route 41.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 172.14.1.2
ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 172.14.1.2
Since this is the border router as a result default route is not possible. Also no backup route
can be configured as this router has only one link.
V Ist possible to set up a Fully Specified Route on the network in Figure-1? 5/5
Explain
The meaning of a fully specified route is that both the exit interface and the next-hop
address is specified. All of these requirements are met in Figure-1, therefore a Fully
Specified Route can be set up.
/ Refer to the below Figure no. 2, a summarized static route has been 5/5
configured in Router R1. [R1(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
s0/0/1 ]. Will this command create a problem, yes or no and why?
192.168.3.0/24
Figure no. 2
In the above figure, the exit interface is s0/0/1 so even if R1 sends a packet using the
summary route instead of R3, no problems would be caused. This link would only be used by
‘the router to send the packets using summary route. Problems would have been caused if
another summary route was set up using the same summarized network address and
subnet mask but in this case the serial port is s0/0/0.

Figure no. 2
vw Refer to the topology in Figure no. 2 above. What should be the static 5/5
summary routes and where should we apply them?
For R1, summary routes: 192.168.0.0/22
For R2, summary routes: 192.168.4.0/22
The static summary routes of both R1 and R2 will be applied on R3 router depending on the
route used.
