Network Design Report: Configuration, Implementation, and Testing

This report details the design and implementation of a network, encompassing the configuration of network devices, including routers, computers, and servers. It begins with an executive summary outlining the report's scope, which involves designing an IP address scheme, configuring routers to connect two local area networks, and setting up servers for DHCP, web services, and DNS. The report then presents the network setup, detailing device configurations with IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways. It includes screenshots of the configured devices and the ICL codes used for router configurations, specifically focusing on interface setup, IP addressing, and routing protocols. Task 1 covers the configuration of PCs, servers, and routers, including screenshots of the configuration process. Task 2 focuses on configuring network services, including DHCP server setup, web server configuration, DNS server configuration, and firewall implementation to block TCP traffic. The report includes ping and traceroute tests to verify network functionality and concludes with a list of references to support the information presented.

Executive summary
This is a report which entails the various network configurations; however it involves the
designing of the network address scheme where the various network devices are assigned some
specific web addresses.
However the report covers the configuration of the network devices where there are two
routers that links two local area networks and the servers, all these are configured and the ip
addresses are assigned.
Each network router is also configured to enable the communication between all the
network devices where the functionality is tested by ping command which is done using one
computer to the routers and the connected servers.
The network also is linked with servers which are configured as DHCP servers ,web
servers, and DNS servers respectively this is to improve the services offered in the network. The
network also is configured by setting up the firewall to ensure the signals cannot be transmitted
in unintended locations.

TASK 1
Setting up a Network
Below is the set network that is having two subnetworks with two routers which links
them ,however there are three computers and two servers as shown below.
Configuration of the PC, Server and Router
The below is the illustration of the configured Pcs, server and the routers this
is implemented using the following table indicating the addressing scheme used.
This network address was class c network and the network gateway used is
255.255.255.0 below is the summary of the respectively.

Pings On the client
The ping is a command used in the packet tracer to simulate to check whether the data
packets are successfully transmitted from one network device to the other below are the screen
short for ping in these network devices.
