TCP/IP Networking Project: Router and Network Service Configuration

This project report details the configuration of a TCP/IP network using Cisco Packet Tracer. The project involves setting up a network with two routers, PCs, and a server. The configuration includes assigning IP addresses to network interfaces, configuring routing protocols, and enabling IP packet forwarding. The report covers the configuration of DHCP, DNS, and a web server, along with the implementation of a firewall using access control lists. Screenshots of the router configurations and network connectivity tests, including ping and traceroute commands, are provided. The project aims to simulate a practical networking scenario, allowing the student to apply and demonstrate their understanding of network configuration and service implementation. The report also includes a bibliography of relevant sources used in the project.

TCP/IP NETWORKING
Executive Summary
The assignment is related with the development of a network and two routers are used for the
configuration. The configuration is made on cisco packet tracer and two routers are used for simulation
of the software. The routers are configured in the network with the appropriate protocol for meeting
the requirement of the assignment. Multiple network interface are used for configuring the network and
client PC and the server are connected with the different interface of the router. The screenshots of the
configuration of the router is given in the report. The DNS and the Web server is configured with the
student name and the router 0 is configures with access control list for blocking a client to access the
web server. The connectivity of network is checked by pinging to the different interface of the router.
