Hey everyone 👋 I was inactive the past week because I was sick and at the same time very busy helping my wife opening up her own local store. Now I’m back and will provide you with study material as usual! So let’s vote for the next lab topics 👇

So as a newbie (still am) to some of the concepts I asked my self why a business would use different routing protocols (i.e. one department uses OSPF and another uses EIRGP). It sounded like unnecessary confusion but it was really my brain complicating things for me thinking its making simple for me when In reality it was already simplified. Businesses use different routing protocols because different parts of the network have different needs, equipment, or history. Such as legacy equipment that may not be compatible with more contemporary routing protocols, vendor specifications, and even department size. All that said, no one protocol is a end all be all for any network. So understanding the purpose behind them is pivotal to building, maintaining and expanding a network! I'm open to any additions or corrections if I am mistaken! I would hate to give wrong information!

What is the main purpose of a default gateway in a network? a) To assign IP addresses b) To route traffic outside the local network c) To provide DNS services d) To connect multiple switches

How should i start with labs? I am Following Wendell Odom's CERT guide Book and it has recommended to get started with LABS since I am in the part 2 of the book. He has recommended to check the lab resources he has provided, can you guys check it and guide me, for now i just know that Cisco Packet tracer is some tool that exists, i have used it to just configure basic topologies ( bus, star, etc).
