University Networking Assignment: TCP/IP Configuration and Services

This assignment focuses on configuring a network with three PCs, two routers, and a web server using Cisco Packet Tracer. It details the configuration of PC, server, and router interfaces, including the setup of private IP addresses for the routers. The assignment covers essential networking services such as DHCP and DNS servers, along with web server configuration. It also demonstrates the use of an access control list to block client access to the web server. Screenshots of the configurations and ping tests are included, along with traceroute commands and a comprehensive bibliography of relevant sources. The report provides a practical guide to TCP/IP networking concepts and their implementation.

TCP/IP NETWORKING
Executive Summary
The network is designed with three PC and two router and cisco packet tracer is used for the
configuration of the network. Appropriate networking protocol are used for the configuration of the
router and the lectures given in the class are used for preparation of the network configuration and
completing the task according to the requirement. The errors generated during the configuration of the
networking devices are resolved with the application of the new technology and the PCs, servers and
the routers are set up according to the rules set on the assignment. The router is configures with a
private IP address and the screenshots of the configuration are attached in the report and the network is
set up for pinging with all the interface of the network. A DHCP server is used for the allocation of the IP
address to the client PC connected with the interface of the first router and the DNS server is configured
with the student name. A client is blocked using the access control list on the router 0 for accessing the
web server and the screenshots are attached in the report.
