Network Design and Configuration: TCP/IP, Routers, and Servers

This assignment details the setup of a TCP/IP network, including the configuration of two PCs, two routers, and various servers (DNS, Website, and DHCP). The report covers IP addressing schemes, subnetting, and the configuration of router interfaces. The student describes the configuration of each device, including the commands used. The assignment also covers packet forwarding and traceroute commands. The student explains the functionality of DHCP in assigning IP addresses and the challenges encountered with web server access. References are provided for the tools and concepts used.

Executive summary
This document contains network design report of two PCs, two routers and servers. The Pcs are
configured with different IP addresses .The routers are configured with private IP address for
them to communicate in the network. Each router is configured with in a different subnet.
There different types of servers in the DNS –server which will be used in allocating DNS name to
website .Website server that will be used to allocate specific name to the IP address .The
network will also be configured with DHCP server that will be used in allocating IP addresses to
the end devices.

Task 1
The network was set ups as shown. Computers connected together through one switch this
means that they have a common default way. While on the other side servers are connected
through one switch to the routers .Servers are also connected to the router through one
interface.

Router(config)#interface Serial0/1/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 10.200.2.3 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)#ip address 10.200.2.3 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/1/0, changed state to up

Router(config)#interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 192.163.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)#exit
Router(config)#
Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.200.2.3

4. Traceroute command
The following shows how the routes followed
This is command that identifies the suitable route that network packets follow to the required
specified host. Mostly used in trouble shooting of computers and to find which path data
follows to the required destination.

Task 2
1. DHCP configuration
The DHCP was configured as shown above.
This is network server that automatically provides and assign network devices with addresses,
default gateways and other network parameters that are required in network. DHCP
automatically sends the required network protocols so that clients can communicate with each
other in the network. Without this the DHCP server then the network admin has to allocate
each device an IP address.DHCP servers usually assign PC with unique IP addresses.

21
TCP/IP
IP address assigned to the client PC were 172.164.2.5 255.255.255.0 with default gateway
172.164.2.1.The PC is allocated with a unique IP address as shown above .If two PC are
allocated with the same IP address that are the same then IP conflicting will occur.

22
TCP/IP
2.0 webserver
4.0
The client is prevented from accessing the server it returns timeout results.
