Lab 3.2.5.2 Convergence

In this packet tracer lab i was able to to add a new LAN that included a switch and PC. From there i had to configure addresses and routes in order to learn more about the debugging output and network converging. the first thing that i did was to analyze the routing table for all of the routers in order to see which of them were associated with the RIP protocol. From there i added the new LAN that included a 2960 switch and host to Router 3. From there i used the certain commands in order to configure the routers with the proper addresses and subnet mask. From there i went to the desktop of the new PC in order to do more ip configurations and add a default route. After that i used the  show ip route command in order to check if the routes i configured were added to the routing table. Although it was configured the route had not been added because the no shutdown command was not used in order to turn the route on.  From there all that was left to do was use the debug ip rip for router R2 and R3 in order for the networks to be added to the routing table. from there i turn off the debugging ip rip with the command no debug ip rip because there are risks associated with the use of the debug command that include it using a lot of memory and other things. From there i was able to get 100% completion.
