NETWORK ROUTING AND CONFIGURATION1
Executive Summary
In recent years networking is continuing to gain importance among businesses and firms as
they look forward to maximise their profit margins by cutting down on their operational
costs. Optimal and efficient routing concepts in the networks of organization plays a critical
role in this process. The report is to hence look at how efficiently certain routing protocols
can be applied on different sections of the organization network. It is also to highlight the
benefits of applying these routing techniques and then goes to suggest how optimizations of
the network can be performed. After providing the configuration commands and explaining
their use, the report provides proof of the connectivity and configurations applied on the
network. Thereafter the report ends with concluding notes.

NETWORK ROUTING AND CONFIGURATION3
Introduction
Networks play an essential role in the cost effective functioning of companies. This is
why it is always important for firms to implement the optimum configuration in their
internetwork by using appropriate routing techniques. The solution looks at how a typical
company implements routing techniques for different sections of their network so that the PC
X is able to ping PC Y as also ensure internet services are being received by the Street router
from the ISP. The report justifies these configurations, talks about the benefits that can be
obtained from the use of such techniques and then talks about optimizing the network setup.
Here, when it comes to greenfield networks, the report first touches on the positioning of the
routers and network and then talks of implementing the routing configuration followed by IP
addressing. Then the shortest path is figured out and routing policies are applied accordingly.
After showing the proof of connectivity and configuration the report comes to an end with
conclusions.
Solution
The network design makes use of different routing techniques for connection between
different sections of the network. The PCs X and Y send and receive messages to each other
by traversing through these network sections.
Routing techniques and Justification
The different routing techniques that have been used in the network are EIGRP, OSPF
and RIP. The EIGRP routing technique has been applied in the network between the routers
of Somerton, Langport, Street and Compton Dundon. Between the routers, Street and
Glastonbury, OSPF routing has been used and the area formed here is area 0. OSPF also gets
used between the routers Glastonbury and Wookey Hole to form the area 51. Lastly the
routers of Wookey Hole and Cheddar form the area 52 through OSPF routing. In the routers
