Network Design and Configuration
Introduction
Networking is one of the significant areas that need a lot of care and
consideration in order to avoid making mistakes that will affect the goals and
objectives of the organization. In setting a network key factors such as scalability,
security, cost and maintenance must be ensured that they favors the organization
or an individual in full. Ideally, for one to have a good network then one must be
able to design the setup, install all the devices and configure depending on what
one think will meet or satisfy the desires of the organization.
This report aims at ensuring that one can be able to set up different networks such
as having the clients, the switch, routers and servers and in this case the PCs and
Servers have different networks. In this case, the idea is to configure the routers
and servers with the best routing protocol. The other concept is being able to
configure the DHCP servers, WEBs Servers and DNS among others.
Setting up the Network
The network comprises of three clients PCs, two routers, two switches and three
servers namely the DHCP, DNS and Web Server respectively as shown below.
Client(s) <--> Switch <--> Router <--> Router <--> Switch <--> Server(s)
The above have been represented as follows in this case clearly showing how such diagrams have been setup and
configured.

Router (R0) Configuration
The following is the command configuration for the routing protocol of Router 0
