Packet Tracer Exploration: Routing Loops

First of all, in this lab, all the routers have already been configured. All I am left to do is to identify the conditions leading to a routing loop and the implications on the router performance. I first examined branch1's configuration using the show run command. Then I located the static route command which is ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0/. I did the same thing to examine branch2's configuration except to locate the static route command, i used the command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0 serial 0/0. I tried to verify the connectivity from PC2 to PC0 using the ping command. The ping command was not successful and the packets failed to reach the destination. I reconfigured the routes by first clearing the current static route configuration. I did this by using the no ip route command. on both branch1 and branch2. I then re-configured the routers so that they can properly connect to each other. I then verified their connectivity again by using the ping command from PC2 to PC0, and it turns out my configuration was successful.
