Lab 4 3 Simple 2 Network Packet Tracer Lab

Objective

Build and observe a Simple Network with 2 Networks

Goals

• Observe the role of the router
• Identify the impact of each networks as it's own Broadcast Domain

Summary

In this lab I used Cisco Packet Tracer to simulate building a network with two networks, and configuring the devices to have their IP addresses, subnet mask, and default gateways. As well as simulating what a ping between two devices across two networks looks like. No problems were encountered during this lab, perhaps just some confusion navigating the different tabs. Some useful instructions I learned was saving NVRAM helped the Router save the MAC addresses it has a record of.

Things to Consider:

• Document the use of "Simulation Mode"

Simulation mode is when instead of the network traffic being done in real time (faster than seconds) it shows each step happening in a slowed down speed and showing where the packets are being sent.

• Document how to save configurations on routers

To save configurations on routers, in the config tab under settings, save NVRAM to save the current configurations of the router.

• Enter useful Packet Tracer Tips/Tricks you pick up

You can filter what packets you want to see, or multiple types of different packets, or all the packets during simulation mode.
