Hi,<br />
<br />
ive configured 3 routers which are all pingable across the whole of the network, but the config ive attached and sh ip route at bottom simulates a connection to my ISP1.<br />
<br />
when I do a &quot;sh ip route&quot; on any of the routers as ive checked, it shows &quot;C &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 10.0.0.4/30 is directly connected, Loopback5&quot;, WHY? &nbsp;as Ive configured the Loopback5 as &quot;10.0.0.6&quot;?

when I do a "sh ip route" on any of the routers as ive checked, it shows "C       10.0.0.4/30 is directly connected, Loopback5", WHY?  as Ive configured the Loopback5 as "10.0.0.6"?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
