Network Configuration Analysis for Business

The assignment presents a network configuration scenario involving four routers (Router 1, Router 2, Router 3, and Router 4) connected through ethernet and serial interfaces. Each router has assigned IP addresses and subnet masks. The analysis focuses on how these configurations are suitable for business environments, particularly in terms of security by separating guest networks from sensitive company data. The assignment also includes a ping test between the routers to demonstrate network connectivity.

environment or large organizations for developing a safe network to be accessed by guests such that they
remain separated from the network assets. The accessing of highly sensitive data can be prevented with the
help of this network configuration as it will help to distinguish the network of various departments from the
main company network.
