Deliverable 5

I was unfamiliar with setting up separate LAN and WAN interfaces on the firewall. I was also unfamiliar with adding a new local admin to windows 10 and changing the local IP of a windows 10 workstation. A default gateway is usually a router that acts as a "gateway" between the local computers and the internet. The gateway is what allows a computer to send packets outside of the LAN, and we needed to assign one in order to access the internet in this lab.

Notes

On the firewall virtual machine, we configured both the LAN and WAN interfaces. We did this by confirming MAC addresses of the ports we were going to use. On the workstation virtual machine, we first configured a manual IP address and gateway for our workstation. Then we configured the firewall by navigating to 10.0.5.2 on google chrome. In the deliverables, we used the whoami, tracert, and ping commands to show connectivity between the workstation and firewall with the internet.

New Terms:

• Gateway: A portal between the LAN and the internet, usually a router
• WAN: (Wide Area Network) network that spans over a large area, usually for a school or company
• Hostname: Name of the computer, used in command prompt
