Networking Project: TCP/IP Configuration, Services, and Analysis

This project outlines the creation of a simple network using Cisco Packet Tracer, focusing on the configuration of routers, PCs, and servers. It details the configuration of network devices, including IP addressing, subnet masks, and default gateways for PCs and servers. The project covers IP routing using the IP route command, enabling communication between different network segments. It also includes the use of ping and traceroute commands for network testing and troubleshooting. Furthermore, the project delves into configuring network services such as DHCP for dynamic IP address assignment, a web server, a DNS server, and a firewall to enhance network functionality and security. The project concludes with a discussion of the network design, its scalability, and the benefits of the implemented services. References to relevant networking guides are also provided.

Introduction
Main objective of this project is to create the simple network. The network contains
the maximum three PC’s and 3 routers. The Network design done by using the cisco packet
tracer. Each device will be configured. The Router, PC and Sever configuration will be done.
The Configuration provides the scalability of the network. The Client PC pinging the server,
router gateway interface and server PC. The client PC configured with trace route command
to identify the network problems. The router is routed by using the IP route. It will be
interconnecting to the two routers. The network devices and services are provided the secure
network and high efficiency network. The network services are DHCP, DNS, Web server and
Firewall will be discussing.
Network Component

 Cisco Router - 3
 Cisco Server - 3
 PC - 6
 Connectors - Required
 Cables - Required
 OS - Windows
 Memory - 2 GB RAM
 Hard Drive - 2.2 GB
