16.6 Summary of Session 16
In this session you have put all your knowledge of routers, switches and connecting cables together to make a network. You have then added the relevant IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and the RIP routing protocols to enable communication between all of the end devices. Finally you have saved all of your configuration work so that the devices will return to their working state after they are powered off and back on again.
