Exer 2 IP Routing

To start off with casual talk I had a fine day today with not much stress so I feel fine at the moment of my class.

Anyway The topic today was Ip routing where Sir Joman taught us a few Details and Current News Regarding IP addressing and also how to configure our computers IP Address.

I thougt it was gonna be hard to learn this new topic with all the new commands but with a steady pace of teaching thanks to sir Joman and Listening carefully to all the Instructions I was able to pull off the example to be done.

Since we couldn't actually communicate with another network (e.g. PC lab 8 and 9 will be connected). We will use a simulator made by Former Cmsc students here called Scalable Cisco IOS Simulator.The software can be downloaded from

The Software which we were using are courtesy of Michael B. Detras, Vincent B. Lee and Sir Ludwig Tirazona (my former lab instructor back from Cmsc 125)

The User Interface was alright, not too user friendly and not too techy... just the right mix for Cmsc students so it didn't take long for us to grasp its controls.

Basically what we did was connect a computer to a router and configure their IP addresses, Gateway and Mask.

Next up was the exercise which was more challenging than the example (should have seen that coming...) we were suppose to make a connection of 3 computers with only using a switch as a tip.

Here's an image of the connections. using 15 as the second number for all the router and computer names as my student number 2010-11703 adds up to it


 Now it made me think how would I be able to do this but luckily I was able to notice a detail concerning the configuration of a static IP route (global) at the routers.

It turns out all I add to do was add all the IP routes that the current computer needs to communicate, do the same technique with the other Routers, and presto... I could Ping all of the Computers and Routers.

And with that the second exercise is done with a few time to spare :)
