Routing Concepts (N10-009)

Welcome to the Routing Concepts practice lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

In this module, you will explore fundamental routing concepts, including static routing techniques, to establish efficient data paths. Static routing involves manually configuring routing tables, thus providing a straightforward method for small-scale networks. Network Address Translation (NAT) will be implemented to enable private network devices to access the Internet using a single public IP address via port forwarding. Additionally, you will delve into the utilization of subinterfaces, a technique in which a single physical network interface is logically divided into multiple virtual interfaces, each assigned a unique IP subnet and IP address. This allows for the segmentation of network traffic and facilitates the creation of distinct broadcast domains within a single physical interface.
