[R5] Starting With Default Routes

New Concepts: Default routes, best matching route entry
Review:
• xxx
Description:
Another approach to creating routing tables is to start with default routes and then add more specific routes that override the more general route entries. Default routes can be created at all ports by selecting Topology => Generate Default Routes. Default routes can be created at a particular port by selecting the port and selecting Route Table => Generate Default Routes. Additional route entries can be added through Route Table => Edit => Add Route.

Instructions:

• Start with a single cluster and generate default routes at each port.
• Add more specific routes to the appropriate route tables so that the hosts attached to ports 1, 2 and 3 can communicate by first going through a link that connects port 7 to port 6. Answer Question 1.
• Add a monitoring panel labeled Ports 2 and 3 that will display four bandwidth plots:
  • Bandwidth coming into ports 2 and 3
  • Bandwidth going out of ports 2 and 3
• Add a second monitoring panel called Ports 7 and 6 that will display two bandwidth plots:
  • Bandwidth going out of port 7 and into port 6
• Save the configuration file.
• Ping n1p2 from n1p3. Answer Question 2.
Questions:
1. What are the contents of the routing tables at ports 1-3 and 6-7?
2. Submit screen shots of the traffic displays, and explain why these displays demonstrate that your routing tables are correct.
