Lab 7.1 VLSM

Reflection

Overall creating the network went well aside from when information is transferred between routers. I was able to send packets between the router directly but if I sen them between devices on the routers networks they would fail to send. Furthermore, All networks on the same router could communicate with each other. I made sure to triple check ips and rip to no avail. I have learned that it might be an issue due to using serial connections and that other types of connections may work better in packet tracer. I also learned that packet tracer is not a perfect program and some things that should work sometimes don't.

Tips to remember

• Label IPs
• Check relevant pdus
• The more computers there are the more that need to be examined in trouble shooting.
