When configuring routing on the command line of Packet Tracer—similar to configuring on physical hardware—you'll find that Packet Tracer offers a GUI to configure static and RIP routing protocols. In addition to this, we'll also see how load balancing works using the simulation mode, which will help you understand things better.
