About Routers

  • A device (real or virtual) which takes a packet from one Layer 3 network and forwards it to another Layer 3 network
  • A router needs at least two Layer 3 interfaces to perform routing

IP Networks

  • Network 1, 192.168.0.0/24, contains all IP addresses that begin with 192.168.0.*
  • Network 2, 192.168.10.0/24, contains all IP addresses that begin with 192.168.10.*
  • Network 3, 10.1.2.0/24, contains all IP addresses that begin with 10.1.2.*
  • Devices in Network 1 can talk directly with one another
  • .. but they need a router to talk to devices in Network 2 or Network 3
