Packet Tracer 1.1.1

In this introduction packet tracer for chapter 1 it gave me a complex server with a bunch of computers, switches, routers etc. I noticed that they did not have a routing table and the activity just told me to analyze everything and get a basic understanding of how things are connected. i than opened the simulation to see how the packets move around and noticed that a lot of the packets show a "x" at the bottom right of the packet. my hypothetical explanation about this is that since there is no routing table the packet most likely doesn't know where to go. As a result, the packet will most likely never get to where its supposed to go until proper addressing and configurations are made.
