3.5.1: Skills Integration Challenge-Configuring Hosts and Servers

 First I added a PC with the display name of 1B to the network. I configured it with the settings the lab said. We then connected the Eagle Server to the Fast access port on the R1-ISP router. We tested the connectivity, in realtime, by using a simple PDU in order to test a connectivity between PC 1B and Eagle_server.

Can you now explain the process that occurs when you type a URL into a browser and a web page returns?
The web page sends a request to the router, the router then sends a request to the internet. The internet sends a request to the server that the webpage is trying to reach. The server sends it back, all the way to the browser, then the page is finally open.

What types of client-server interactions are involved?
The client is requesting data from the server in order to visit the web-page.

Lab 2.7.1 Skills Integration Challange-Examining Packets

    In this lab, we have tested sending packets from one device to another. First we have tried to send a packet from PC- PT 1B, to Server-PT Eagle_server. At first it had failed several times. There was an issue with connecting the packet from the R2-Central Router to the R1-ISP. I needed to configure each device properly until the packet successfully passed through them.  After I finished sending Packets in Simulation mode, then I started experimenting with more packets. If something did not send properly, then I needed to configure it until it did send properly

HANDOUT #1

a. How does this video relate to you and this class?
   This video inspires me to get more into programming. It relates to this class because it expands our knowledge and understanding in technology. We will be able to create our own business using our knowledge in networking and programming. We could possibly use our knowledge in programming to create an app, and that app will be able to connect with other people who have the app via internet

b. Why is it a good reflection of self discipline?
    This is a good reflection of self discipline, because this boy followed what he really wanted to do in life, so he just decided to take action. He had not hesitated since he is still young.

c. Is this subject as easy as creating an app? WHY?
   This subject is harder than creating an app.  Programming is a little simpler than networking. There are so many dimensions to networking, which is why it requires so many years of classes

Lab 1.7.1 Skills Integration Challenge-Introduction to Packet Tracer

Reflection:

In my first packet tracer lab, i have learned that configuring routers, switches, servers, and computers are not simple. I was required to set up a small network that was composed of  two routers, one switch, one server, and two desktop computers. At first I was having trouble connecting the two routers together, then I troubleshooted the both of them and finally found out that there was an issue with the physical layer
