Lab 4 3 Simple 2 Network Packet Tracer Lab - devinziegler/Devin-Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

Assignment: Build and observe communication in a simple network with two networks.

  • The main ideas of this lab are to learn how to set up and configure a network, analyze the traffic flow of packets, and practice saving router configurations.

Helpful Steps:

Use of "Simulation Mode"

  • Simulation Mode is a good way to visualize how packets move in a network. When clicking the simulation tab at the bottom right, and make devices communicate you can pause the packets on every hop. Clicking the packets reveals routing information as well as an OSI summary.

How to save router configs:

  • Click your router, under Global, click settings, in the NVRAM row, click the save button. This can also be done in the cli by copying your running config to the startup config.

Tips and Tricks:

no shutdown
  • This command brings specified interface back up after issuing changes
copy running-config startup-config
  • This command copy's your current router config to the startup config.
