TCP/IP Networking Assignment: Router and Server Configuration

This document presents a comprehensive solution to a TCP/IP networking assignment. It begins with the configuration of PCs, servers, and router interfaces, detailing the setup of PC0, PC1, a web server, a DHCP server, and a DNS server, along with router configurations for Router 0 and Router 1. The assignment then covers router configurations, including IP packet forwarding, and the creation of routing tables. The solution includes pinging from the client end and using the traceroute command. Task 2 delves into the configuration of network services, encompassing DHCP, a web server, DNS, and a firewall. The document concludes with a bibliography of relevant sources, providing a complete and detailed guide to the assignment's requirements.
