Packet Tracer lab 4.4.1.2

In this packet tracer lab we examine routing loops, and experience how a routing loop may occur and effect a network. The routing loops will misconfigure the static routes in the network as well as cause degraded network performance. Routing loops eat up bandwidth and also router resources, resulting in a slow or even unresponsive network. Mechanisms that can be used to eliminate routing loops are as follows; holddown timers, split horizon, and triggered updates. Using these loop avoidance mechanisms in addition to the static route command ip route, I was able to complete this packet tracer activity.
