Recommend that you start by describing the Boston network then describe what you plan to do the fix it. For example
Title should be Boston Site Configuration (or something like this)
The Boston site consist of three (type) routers. The routers will be configured with the x.x.x.x/x. This subnet address will be subnetted to support the current configuration and allow for future expansion.
You actually have something below that should be moved up to the introduction paragraph about Boston. I have highlighted it in red.
You then want to talk about your intension to utilized the OSPF routing protocol and summarization to improve the network and the value it will bring.
Then you can start talking about each.
The subnetting would be a good topic at this point because you would have just finished talking about the network and how you intend to improve it. You can now state the subnet address that will be utilize to configure the router and that the subnet will be summarized
Next you can talk about the routing protocol and state that the summarized route will be used and why.
You can use one of these charts.
Why are you using subinterfaces? There is not requirement for VLANs at the Boston site.

Routing Protocols
There are three main interior routing protocols:Comment by
JCB: You don’t have to describe all the routing protocols, just
pick one and state why you chose it. Then show an example of
how to configured it.
i. OSPF protocol – This is a link-state classless protocol which
is best suited across multi-vendor networks and extensive
networks. The protocol can be used in a distance of 110 meters.
The routing standard uses cost metric. Comment by JCB: Your
formatting is off. Please correct the alignment as I have done
here.
ii. EIGRP: The protocol has a working distance of 90m or
170 m when considered externally. This protocol is the Cisco’s
premium protocol in terms of the market coverage.
Routing Protocol Benefits
When dynamic routing is used, issues are resolved since there is
more automation. If there is a routing update, then the updates
are sent to all other routers in the network. Dynamic routing can
also do change notification, that is re-routing the traffic around
4. a congested router. It also allows changes in topology and uses
a certain algorithm to find the best routes. There is also
automatic failover for redundant connections. OSFP works
seamlessly across different vendors therefore not limited to
Cisco alone. With OSFP network, there are many parts of the
network which is organized in different structure. One
disadvantage is using more memory, despite this, it remains the
best way to deal with IP addressing. RIP can also be used
alongside OSFP as it routes the traffic and there is no cost
consideration. There will be times that the total administrative
cost over multiple hops will equal less than a single hop.
SummarizationComment by JCB: How did you come up with
these network addresses? You are required to show the range for
each of these networks in a table.
This process will condense the network IP numbers in every
location of the network into a larger subnet mask. This is used
to minimize the routing tables in IP. The network router
interfaces will be as follows:
There are 16 bits shared in common within the first 3 octets.
And there are 3 in the fourth octet. In this case the subnet mask
used will be/21. The address will not be as follows:
10.10.10.2/24. Boston Router 3 is connected to four networks at
its fa1/0 interface. The networks are:
Comment by JCB: Why do you have this chart twice? One can
be removed. The route summarization contradicts because in
one table you state that the are 16 common bits and the other
you state that there are 19.
There are 19 bits in common 8 bits in the first octet, 8 bits in
the second octet, and 3 in the third octet. The subnet mask
would be /19. The summarized address is: 10.10.0.0/19.
The router will advertise network address of 10.10.0.0/19 at
5. fa0/1 interface.
Default Route
In order to avoid the dropping of the packets, the traffic would
not match any internal networks which will be routed to the
network. The default network takes the form of a static route.
Instead of using all IP addresses in the IP route, all zeros are
used and the IP address interfaced through hoping. This informs
the router that if the data is not sent, the default route will send
it. In any case the router receives the packets; the destination
addresses would not recognize the router and will drop all the
packets.Comment by JCB: You don’t need an entire section
about default routes. You can make a statement after your
OSPF section stating the need for a default route. For example:
To eliminate the possibility of dropped packet do to routing
deficiencies, I will configure a default router. The show and
example of how a default route is configured.
Comment by JCB: This is not how default routes are configured;
No routers should have a hostname of Router. You need to
change this to BostonRouter 1 or something else.
BostonRouter1(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.2
Or
BostonRouter1(config)#ip route destination address and subnet
mask and the next hop ip address and subnet mask
You don’t need all these default routes because you will have
OSPF running (dynamic routing) there needs to be one default
route ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fax/x
Boston Network Topology(make this your opening statement
6. about Boston)Comment by JCB: This should be used as your
opening statement about Boston
Then you can follow this paragraph up by stating the ip address
ranges you will be utilizing.
Next you can talk about the routing protocol that you intend to
utilized. This will be followed by summarization because this
is when the route summarization will be used. For example
Router OSPF 100
Network x.x.x.x 0.0.0.x area x (this will be your summarized
route)
You will also talk about the value of route summarization at this
point.
The current network suffers from redundancy, it has many
points of failure and since the routers are connected to single
points, for example router 3 are connected to router 1 but
routers 2 and 3 are not directly connected. When this is used,
then router 2 will not connect to the internet or have a
successful communication with router 3. The same applies to
router 3 which would lose any connection to other networks or
any connection to the router 2.Comment by JCB: Move your
topology picture right after this paragraph and refer to it in your
statement.
Configuration
In order to maximize the network usage, another router would
be used to connect Boston using router 3.
MA 2 would be installed from it to The Boston MA. This will
ensure there is a redundant connection to Boston MA through
router 1 and this router will be used to alleviate load balancing.
For Boston Router 2, and Boston Router 3we can use any
unused addresses from 10.10.0.0/30, to configure Fa0/2
7. interfaces of both routers.
Recommendations
When reviewing the selected network, there were many critical
items which were missing from the site. There were missing
services as well. On top of these, there should be security
features which should be implemented throughout the
Worchester Site network:
· Cisco 4 Catalyst should be installed using 6500 series ad
switches to help the current network and help in assisting
further growth in the network.
· Configure messages of the day and log in to the network for
all the switches in the Boston Network.
· There should be password encryption in the network, secrete
passwords should be allowed throughout the network.
· Access control using active directory should be employed in
the networks.
· There should be pre-configured hell connections and trucking
should be enabled between the switches.
· VLAN spanning tree protocol should be configured with the
Boston Switch1 which will have the network improved
performance.
· Port Fast should be configured to guard all access ports, this is
to enable quicker port convergence and disable all the ports if
there is any BPDU detected across the network.
There should be DHCP servers which will provide IP addressing
scheme which will also be dynamic. The DNS servers will also
provide address translation services to the end users. Access
control list should also be configured in the end user devices.
Configure access control lists (ACLs) to restrict traffic coming
into the Boston site to only that which is desired. Configure
firewalls at the core routers.

In order to relieve the administrative tasks surrounding the
implementation of manual IP addressing per device, we will
configure and implement a DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol) server, per site requirements. The DHCP allows for
devices to identify, request and implement IP configurations as
well as other settings….
Since this area may call for facts and details around
12. technologies and approaches, you will most likely find yourself
using in-text citations, which would appear as follows:
