Assignment 3 Routing

Instructions:

This is Mark's first time configuring routers and switches. Mark thought it was simply a matter of installing them, and they would just work. However, now you are reading a manual on configuring routers and switches. The first thing you notice is that you are configuring different elements. For example, in routers, you must configure the router’s hostname and BRI interface. For switches, the configuration must occur on the switch's host name, system name, and switching mode, just to name a few of the configurations. Mark might need some help.

Answer the following questions. Also, support your answers with academic or real IT examples to accentuate your point.

• Do you think that one day, routers and switches will not be needed? Why?
• In your opinion, do you think the configuration process of routers and switches can be made easier, especially for nonexperts who want to play around with routers and switches? How? Provide an example if you feel that it can be accomplished. If you do not think it can be accomplished, then provide a reason as to why not.
