Chapter 17 deals with routing issues in a "Dedicated Intranet Lab". The experiments are straightforward, but still quite interesting and thought provoking. One of the subtle misconceptions among students (and, I must confess, at least one faculty member) is that ip addresses are associated with hosts. How many times have I said something like, "The ip address of ursa.calvin.edu is 153.106.4.1"? When you start configuring routers, you (at least I did) come to realize that it is interfaces, not hosts, that have ip addresses.

Detailed instructions for the Cisco 1605R router appear in the student notes on the experiments in this chapter.
