Scenario 2-1: Routing IP on Cisco Routers
In this scenario, you configure two Cisco routers for IP routing using a Class B (/16) network address, 131.108.0.0, with a Class C subnet mask (255.255.255.0, or /24). You learn how to build a small network up from the physical layer and build an IP routing table using one serial link between the two routers, R1 and R2. You also configure a number of loopback interfaces to populate the IP routing table.
Note
A loopback interface is a software interface. You can ping it and communicate with it. Most importantly, it never goes down, and you can use it as a tool to populate routing tables.
Figure 2-2 shows the network for this scenario.
