DNETCOM #6

 I was glad that I was able to understand the lesson properly, that Routing Information Protocol or RIP is much easier than static routing because it is easier to control and handle, and that I got to configure routers successfully. I truly appreciate it when our professor helps us with our exercises and when he answers our questions. I feel like when he helps us, we get to receive extra information about the lesson or we get to fully understand it. I really like how approachable he is and that you can ask him questions about the topic or trouble that you've encountered with the lesson because (for me) not all professors are as approachable as he is, I got to learn a lot from him since he can answer our questions and even provide solutions to problems. Our lessons made me more intrigued and curious about networking, I kind of wish that it could've been longer because I was having so much fun with the lessons. It was fun configuring terminals, learning about different protocols, the research papers and being challenged by exercises. (I hope that we could all take a picture so that I could post it here)

DNETCOM #5

We've been taught how to do static route to the routers. It was quite difficult and confusing at first but it is fairly easy once you get the hang of it. I realized that it's easier to just configure it in the config tab than the CLI tab. It's much easier to control than in the CLI  tab. If I knew that beforehand then I would've finished the exercise sooner, but either way I had fun thinking about how to do it and how to make it work.
