Comprehensive Networking: Configuration, Analysis, and Troubleshooting

This networking assignment covers fundamental concepts, troubleshooting, and configuration of network devices. It includes screenshots of local area connections, CLI commands, and explanations of IPv4 and IPv6 tables. The assignment also identifies the main components of a Cisco router and discusses the IOS (Internetwork Operating System). Furthermore, it addresses a troubleshooting scenario involving static IP addresses and provides guidance on password recovery. The assignment includes practical exercises such as configuring IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways, as well as naming and configuring routers with passwords and TELNET access. Finally, it examines the PING protocol and its messages in a network simulation, accompanied by relevant references. Desklib provides access to this and many other solved assignments for students.

Question1
Screenshot of Local Area Connection. My machine default gateway 192.168.1.1. The use
of Default gateway is a mediator device which is mainly uses for the connectivity of the internet.
This is mainly located with ISP (Internet Service Provider) and a router. Default Gateway is
used to route the packets from certain networks to the internet and to devices.

Question 4:
Main Components of Cisco Router:
1. CPU (Processor)
2. RAM
3. NVRAM
4. ROM
5. Flash Memory
6. Interfaces
7. IOS (Internetwork Operating System)
8. RXBoot Image
9. Configuration Register
The IOS is the principle working framework on which the switch runs. The IOS is
stacked upon the switch's bootup. It as a rule is around 2 to 5MB in size, however can be a great
deal bigger relying upon the switch arrangement. The IOS is right now on variant 12, and Cisco
intermittently discharges minor forms each couple of months e.g 12.1 , 12.3 and so on to alter
little bugs furthermore include additional usefulness.

The IOS gives the switch its different abilities and can likewise be redesigned or
downloaded from the switch for reinforcement purposes. On the 1600 arrangement or more, you
get the IOS on a PCMCIA Flash card. These Flash card then attachments into an opening
situated at the back of the switch and the switch stacks the IOS "picture" (as they call it).
Generally this picture of the working framework is compacted so the switch must decompress
the picture in its memory keeping in mind the end goal to utilize it.
The IOS is a standout amongst the most basic parts of the switch, without it the switch is
practically futile. Simply remember that it is not important to have a blaze card (as portrayed
above with the 1600 arrangement switch) so as to load the IOS. You can really arrange most
Cisco switches to stack the picture off a system tftp server or from another switch which may
hold numerous IOS pictures for various switches, in which case it will have a vast limit Flash
card to store these pictures.
Question5:
Refer to the exhibit below. The network administrator for a small advertising company has
chosen to use 192.168.5.96/27 network for internal LAN addressing. As shown in the exhibit, a
static IP address is assigned to the company printer. However, no other devices can visit it.
Please give your suggestion of general trouble shooting procedure and identify that is the main
reason if current situation.

We need to type rename flash:config.old flash:config.text to rename the configuration
file with the new name.
