Objectives:
• Designanddocumentanaddressingscheme basedonrequirements
. • Selectappropriate equipmentandcable the devices.
• Applyabasic configurationtothe devices.
• Verifyfull connectivitybetweenall devicesinthe topology.
• Identifylayer2and layer3 addressesusedtoswitchpackets.
Task 1: Designanddocumentanaddressingscheme.
Step1: Designanaddressingscheme.Basedonthe networkrequirementsshowninthe topology,design
an appropriate addressingscheme.
• Startingwiththe largestLAN,determinethe size of eachsubnetyouwill needforthe givenhost

IP addresses.

Step2:
Documentthe addressingscheme.•Use the blankspaceson the topologytorecord the network
addressesindotted-decimal/slashformat.•Use the table providedinthe printedinstructionsto
documentthe IPaddresses,subnetmasksanddefaultgatewayaddresses. Forthe LANs,assignthe first

4. Task 2: Selectequipmentandcable devices.
Step1: Selectthe necessaryequipment.Selectthe remainingdevicesyouwillneedandadd
themto the workingspace inside PacketTracer.Use the labelsasa guide asto where toplace
the devices.
Step2: Finishcablingthe devices.Cablethe networksaccordingtothe topologytakingcare that
interfacesmatchyourdocumentationinTask1.
Task 3: Applyabasic configuration.
Step1: Configure the routers.Usingyourdocumentation,configure the routerswithbasic
configurationsincludingaddressing.Use ciscoasthe line passwordsandclassas the secret
password.Use 64000 as the clockrate.
Step2: Configure the PCs.Usingyourdocumentation,configure the PCswithanIPaddress,
subnetmask,anddefaultgateway.
Task
Packet Tracer Simulation
( after configuration )

5. Configuring Router HQ
NOTE AND IGNORE THE SERIAL INTERFACE* THEY HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ASSIGNED IN THE REAL PACKET
TRACER ! ***
Simplyconfigure RouterHQwithbasichostname,banner,password.Also,configure fastethernet
interface withipaddressIcalculatedattable.Make sure the interface isinnoshutdownmode.We can
see that the linkstate isgreen.

6. This portion of the command line, I configured the serial interfaces for the WAN port and also synced
withthe DCE clock rate of 64000, as documentedby the lab requirements for part 2. Also made sure to
configure each interface to no shutdown. Last but not least, made sure to copy the running config to
start-up config so the router will boot with the configuration changes.
* also forgot to enable secret class on configuration settings
Copy running-config to startup-config and reload the router

7. RESULT OF SHOW RUN FROMHQ

9. Router B1

11. Notice that the DCE interface did not show message when configuring clock rate. This is most likely
because I connected the B1 router to supply clock rate to Router HQ through the serial interface.
Configure Router B2
After configuring B2, this is the show run status

12. TROUBLESHOOTING ERRORS

13. I noticed that the link for s3/0 was not configured properly after I entered no shutdown command for
s2/0 on B2.
Fix
After assigning s3/0 on router HQ with IP address, clock rate and no shutdown . I was able to achieve
connection green.
Packet Tracer Simulation Network

14. Take notice here that all the links are green, meaning that the link state are in UP state, However for
the next portion of this lab i noticed that I have no layer 3 connectivity between the WAN links; this is
mostlikely due to packet tracer lab 1.6.1 assumption that the RIP protocol is administered by default.
This is not true for for this situation, I will have to enable RIP protocol.
Assign RIP v 2 for router B1 / B2 / HQ

15. Task 4: Test connectivity and examine the configuration.
In the last step
I troubleshootedthe networkwithaseriesof pingrequestfromthe hostsineachsubnet.
HOST to defaultgateway, hosttonextrouteronhop and hostto host connectivity.
I noticedthatI didnot have connectivitybetweenroutertorouterandhost past the defaultgateway.
I knewthatthe problemhadtobe onthe routerconfiguration.

16. Packettracer 1.6.1 labassumesthat ripv 2 isa protocal that hasalreadybeenpreconfigured.Inmy
case,configuringthe Packettracerfromscratch, it has notbeenconfigured.
aftertroubleshootingthe ripprotocal,i noticedthatthe routingtable didnothave the rip v2 update.

17. so to enable the update i hadto assignthe networkvalue tocommunicate the update.
IOS TERMINAL
we can see that RIPv2 didnotexchange routingupdates
I DID THIS FOR ALL ROUTERS ON THE NETWORK ANDACHIEVEDFULL CONNECTIVITY
Assignroutingripv 2 withthe networkto exchange update information
aftertroubleshootingi have full connectivitybetweenall hostfrom192.168.1.126

20. ALL HOSTS ACROSSTHE NETWORKCAN BE PINGEDFROM192.168.1.126
CONCLUSION:
I have completedthe packettracer1.6.1 lab.In thislabI have implementedthe subnettheoryand
routingprotocal to communicate informationacrossnetworktopology.Ihave constructedasimulation
to testand troubleshootconnectivity.Ihave successfulyusedthe troubleshootingprocedure to
complete all linkfailures.Ilearnedhowtodesignroutertorouternetworkdesignandsubnet
