Lab 7.2 Deliverable 2 & 3 - Hsanokklis/2022-2023-Tech-journal GitHub Wiki

Reflect on the Packet Tracer portion of your lab:

The setup of this lab was somewhat tedious. I had to be very careful I was inputting the correct values for all my device configuration. The general setup of device was the easier part, and once I had all my addresses it just took me a little bit of time to put them all in the correct devices. I ended up forgetting to configure the router addresses so it took me a while to figure out why my North America and Mumbai couldn't ping each other, and that was the reason. With labs like these I just need to go slow and pay close attention to device configuration and connections. Besides some small troubleshooting, the packet tracer portion of this lab was not to bad.

Connect Routers together

TROUBLESHOOTING: I initially didn't configure the router IP addresses so when I went to test pings from north America to Mumbai it didn't work, but that because the routers didn't have IP's or subnet masks

North America Router:

Mumbai router

Default Gateways/IP Addresses/Sub Net Masks

The default gateway will be the first available IP address

Connect North America(Switches to Routers)

TROUBLESHOOTING: When I was trying to connect my 3 switches to the router, there were only 2 ports available for Gigabit connection, when I needed 3. To solve this I shut of the router and added a GLC-T module to the upper left corner of the device and it added another port.

The IPv4 will be the default gateway of each of the routers
