Packet Tracer Exploration: Cabling a Network with Routers, Switches, and Hosts

In this Packet Tracer lab, I reviewed the previously learned skills, including basic IOS command line interface operation and configuration commands. I also learned to save configuration files to a text files and to a TFTP server. Essentially, this is an overview of all the past labs combined, in order to help us prepare for the future labs. First I Cabled the Ethernet Links of the Network. I connected the R1 Router to the S1 Swith. I then connected PC1 to the S1 Switch. I then COnnected PC2 to the R2 Router. Afterwards, I cabled the Serial link between the R1 and R2 Routers. I established a console connection to the R1 Router. I then needed to Erase and Reload the Routers. I applied Basic configuration of router R1, most of them by using the CLI tab. I then applied Basic Configuration of Router R2. I configured the IP addressing on the Host PCs. I made the router show commands like show running-config, then show startup-config, then show interfaces, then show version. I Used ping command to test the connectivity between the R1 Router and PC1. I then used Traceroute command at the R1 privileged EXEC prompt so that i can see the path in which the packet will take from T1 router to Pc1. I then create a start.txt File. Then I loaded that file into the R1 router. In this lab, i reviewed the previous learned skills. I learned the basic IOS command line interface operation. I then Learned Basic router configuration. I also learned how to verify and test configurations, and the management of configuration files.
