Packet Tracer Exploration: Using Packet Tracer Device Labs

In this lab, first I added a router to the network. I then put a serial module on the router. I then put the appropriate cables to connect the router to the network. We then configured the router, so that it can connect with the switch 1, and the Router 3. We then used CLI is to configure the device settings in order to set the passwords. Essentially, We learned about the three tabs in the router. The Physical tab, the Config tab, and the CLI tab. I was doing basic activities that involved all these tabs.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Cabling Devices

In the Packet tracer Cabling Devices, I was to connect one device to another. I connected PC1 to Hub1. I connected Router 1 to Switch 1. I connected Switch 1 to Router 2. I connected Router 2 to Router 3. Then I connected Router 3 to PC 3. I were practicing to connect them, using the appropriate cables and ports. Once I connected all the devices appropriately with their ports, then I my completion for this lab is 100%.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Using Setup Mode

In this packet tracer, First we cleared any existing configuration from Router 2. We used commands in order to clear the existing configuration. I restarted the router to "initialize" the erase. I then configured the router using setup mode. I needed to configure the router from scratch by setting up the passwords, the interface, the IP address, and the default subnet mask.  I examined the results of using the setup. Then everything was fine.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Corporate Network Simulation

In this packet tracer, we observed how packets travel in a network with a lot of traffic. In the network, there were several routers, hosts, and switches. We went to simulation mode, then observed as the packets traveled to each end device.

Routers and computers packet tracer labs

    In the first lab, we monitored the complex network of routers in simulation mode. with this, we were able to monitor and observe the traffic traveling throughout the network. We were able to see how the packets travel even with all the traffic occurring at the same time. In the second lab, we were configuring routers and other end devices. First we physically connected all devices using the appropriate cabe types. We then named all the devices so our work can be more organized. We then learned about how to use the place note feature to add network addresses between all connections

Carlos Dominguez Essay

             Carlos Dominguez is the senior vice president, office of the chairman, and CEO of Cisco. On Thursday, January 12, 2012, Carlos Dominguez hosted a web seminar addressing several forms of technology that involved networking. He included the future of networking, and how we can put it to our advantage. In order for us to do this, it is required for us networkers to contribute our own play into the situation.

            According to Carlos Dominguez, everyone who is obligated to networking can make a change or impact in our future society and generation. Each one of us is required to focus on staying relevant, and try to succeed. In order to make positive changes, we are to take initiative on the challenges, problems, and goals that we encounter in our careers. By doing this, technology and the right culture can create successful companies by making advances in our technology.

            He also pointed out several inspirational things that encourages us to be triumphant in our future or current careers. One of them is to follow your dream. What this means is to for you to stay dedicated to what you want to do in life, and never give up. Another is making a change in people. You can do this by inspiring others to do what they have always wanted to as a career. Last but not least, he tells you to do what you think is best. This is helpful, not only to make you successful in life, but it will give you a better chance to be better as a person.

            This web seminar prepares me for the real work force because it was very inspirational and motivates me to develop or work on future technology. The fact that impacted me the most about this web seminar is how we are now in an era where technology evolves at a very rapid pace. I agree with Carlos Dominguez because technology has almost every possible capability. The future generation is responsible for enhancing the significant aspects of our evolution, which is the technologic era.

            I may be able to follow the footsteps of Carlos Dominguez, if I train myself to. However, I would much rather prefer creating my own footsteps for others to follow, and for other people to be inspired by me. This seminar motivated me to prolong my education in all subjects, but most specifically programming and networking.

Chapter 8 Case Study

a. What is this kind of Interference?

This kind of Interference is a physical interference


b. Explain why it can slow down the traffic.

If loud, consistant, noise is constantly hauling at exposed, uncovered cables, sound waves may be able to disrupt or slow down signals traveling down from the cables. This is the reason why the traffic is slowed down.


c. Would the result of the tests be any different if the network cabling was running next to a just installed small alarm clock instead of an A/C unit? Why?

The results in this experiment, would be different. Alarm clocks stop at a certain point and is not as consistent or loud. Also, the cables must be exposed. In order to have similar results, the direct source of the alarm clock must be directly on the exposed wires.
