NETWORK TOPOLOGY AND CONFIGURATION1
Executive Summary
The main aim of this report is demonstrating a typical type of network
setup. Here the overall setup of the network is divided in two important
tasks. The first task is the network setup and the second one is the
network service configuration. In the network service configuration DHCP
service configuration, WEB service configuration, DNS service
configuration and Firewall service configuration has been done.

NETWORK TOPOLOGY AND CONFIGURATION3
Introduction
In the current aspect network is one of the important aspect for the
communication purpose. A typical type of network consists various of
hardware and software. Important hardware for a network system is PCs,
switches, routers and servers. In this aspect a network will be developed
consisting all of these hardware systems. First, network setup will be done
and following that network will be configured.
Task 1 – Setup of the Network
Requirements
In this aspect first the network setup will be done and following the
network setup configuration of the network services will be done. In the
first task PC, server and router interface will be configured with proper
network addressing. Also, any type of classless dynamic routing protocol
will be configured on the routers. Following that network interface of the
client will be pinged. Following, remote router interface and server pinging
will be done.
In the second task first configuration of DHCP will be done and
following that Web Server configuration, DNS configuration and firewall
configuration will be done serially.
