Summary

In this Lab, I configured a small recreation of the Champlain network and its subnetworks using classful subnetting. This lab helped me learn more about setting up networks using classful subnetting and I learned more about using packet tracer

Useful Commands/Instructions

• Cisco Packet Tracer was a useful tool in this lab as it was used in simulating networks and how data is transferred between them.
• In this lab I learned about using PDUs to test a connection between two hosts on a network. I like this method better than the ping test because it is quicker.
• I was introduced to the serial ports and serial connections used with routers to connect different subnetworks. I learned how to set the clock speed and IP settings of the serial ports by configuring their settings in the configuration tab of the device window.
• Another thing I learned about was the RIP, which is the network IP address that the router is meant to reference, and it can be set through the configuration tab of the router.

Problems I Ran Into

• When trying to set up the 192.25.10.96 network to connect the Foster and Skiff networks, I was unable to set the serial port of the skiff router to the correct IP, as I kept getting errors that it was overlapping with the IP of the default gateway address of the skiff router. I tried for a while to find what may have been causing this, but I couldn't find any issues, so I ended up changing the network that I used to 192.25.10.224, which worked perfectly fine, and fixed my issue.
