Learned Static Routing with Packet Tracer Lab

Static Routing Lab Practice 🚀 Today I worked on a static routing lab in Cisco Packet Tracer. In this setup, I used 4 routers and multiple networks connected through switches and PCs. 🔹 Each router was manually configured with static routes. 🔹 No dynamic routing protocols (like OSPF or EIGRP) were used. 🔹 All devices were able to communicate successfully across different networks. 👉 This lab helped me understand how static routes work and how important they are for small networks where manual control is needed. #Networking #Cisco #StaticRouting #CCNA #Learning

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑𝟔 – 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 | 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐍𝐀𝐓 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭 🌐 Today I tried configuring Static NAT (Network Address Translation) in Cisco Packet Tracer. While I got stuck midway and wasn’t able to complete the full configuration, the attempt helped me understand the challenges and nuances involved in mapping private IPs to public IPs. I’ll revisit this practical tomorrow and aim to successfully complete the configuration. 🚀 #NetworkingJourney #CiscoNetworking #TechLearning #NAT #CiscoPacketTracer #ITProfessionals #HandsOnLearning #NetworkingTips #LearnNetworking #NetworkConfiguration

As part of my networking studies at Techbriq, I'm getting hands-on experience with Cisco Packet Tracer. This video shows a simple but foundational network topology I designed and configured, featuring a router, a switch, and multiple end devices. The most satisfying part is confirming connectivity. A successful ping from a laptop to a PC, as seen in the "Event List," is the ultimate verification that IP addressing and routing are correctly configured. This tool is invaluable for mastering the basics of network design and troubleshooting. #NetworkingSkills #Cisco #CiscoCertified #LearningAndGrowing #NetworkTopology

🚀 Today I learned about Administrative Distance (AD) in Routing! In networking, routers often receive multiple paths to the same destination from different routing protocols. But how do they decide which one to trust? 🤔 That’s where Administrative Distance (AD) comes in: Lower AD = More preferred (more trustworthy). Higher AD = Less preferred. 📌 Common AD values: Directly Connected → 0 Static Route → 1 EIGRP → 90 OSPF → 110 RIP → 120 👉 Example: If a router learns the same route from both OSPF (AD 110) and RIP (AD 120), it will choose OSPF because 110 < 120. Learning AD helps in understanding routing decisions and troubleshooting conflicts in real networks. #Networking #Routing #Cisco #SystemAdministration #LearningJourney

🚀 Troubleshooting Static Route Issues – A Quick Guide When a static route is not working, follow these key steps: 1️⃣ Check Client Device IP & Gateway 2️⃣ Use Traceroute to Identify Drop Point 3️⃣ Verify Router Interface Status (Up/Down) 4️⃣ Check Static Route in Routing Table 5️⃣ Verify Next-Hop Reachability 6️⃣ Test End-to-End Connectivity with Ping ✅ Following these steps helps quickly isolate and resolve static routing problems. 🔖 #Networking #Cisco #Routing #StaticRoute #Troubleshooting #CCNA #NetworkEngineer

Link State Routing Protocols This paper is an elaborate explanation on Link State Routing Protocols, how they work, Why use them and how are they different from other existing routing techniques. A useful resource for network engineers and IT professionals who wish to understand the operation of current routing protocols in large networks. Thanks to the writer, Richard G. Bua for composing such an intelligent content. What does it mean for deploying link state protocols in enterprise or service provider environments? #Networking #RoutingProtocols #LinkState #NetworkEngineering #ITInfrastructure #Cisco #EnterpriseNetworking #smenode #smenodelabs #smenodeacademy

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞 🤯 Topics such as subnetting, routing protocols, VLANs, STP, and network topologies can feel abstract and complex. And don't even get me started on tools that basically do the same thing—like the endless confusion between TCP vs UDP—totally relatable. Troubleshooting? That means leaning on your logic, a solid plan, and tools like ping, traceroute, nslookup or various monitoring apps. But the big one? Lacking sufficient real-world, hands-on experience to solidify everything.

🚀 Configured and tested Dynamic Routing in a lab setup to automate route sharing between routers. Worked with RIP, OSPF, and EIGRP to establish neighbor adjacencies, advertise networks, and ensure seamless connectivity without manual static entries. 🔍 Focus areas: Route advertisement & redistribution Verifying routing tables and path selection Fine-tuning protocol settings for stability End-to-end connectivity testing across networks Dynamic routing = smarter, scalable, and self-adjusting networks ⚡ #Networking #DynamicRouting #Cisco #RoutingProtocols #NetworkEngineer #LearningInPublic
