Jorge soto Mr. Roth CIT 247 CIT 247 Lab 5: Basic Router Configuration Instructions: Please answer the questions below and include screenshots when requested. When you are finished, add your last name or NKU username to the beginning of this document’s filename. After this, upload this lab report alongside your GNS3 work to Canvas. *If you worked with a lab partner, please add his or her name after yours and separate the names with a semicolon. If not, simply delete the partner’s placeholder text. Questions: Q1.1: How many broadcast domains are in your topology? Explain why, specifying which devices are dividing them. If needed, review the Module 1 learning materials. To determine the number of broadcast domains, count each segmented network. Routers divide broadcast domains, so each interface of a router typically represents a new broadcast domain. Q2.1: Take one or two screenshots of the results from the show command on both routers with the IP addresses configured. Q2.2: How were the routing tables populated? What kinds of routes are shown? Directly Connected Routes : These are routes to networks that the router is directly connected to. When you configure an IP address on a router's interface and activate it, the network attached to that interface is automatically added to the router's routing table.
Local Routes : These are routes to the IP addresses of the router's own interfaces. Each IP address assigned to the router's interfaces gets a local route in the routing table, indicating that the router itself is the destination for packets sent to these IP addresses. When you configure and enable interfaces on a router, the routing table is automatically updated with these directly connected and local routes. Q3.1: Document the results of each ping test with the table below. Ping all the listed devices from PC-1, then specify whether each ping test succeeded and explain the results. Your explanations should discuss: The echo requests and echo replies (i.e., how the traffic was forwarded from and then back to PC-1). The routing decisions PC-1 and, if applicable, the routers made (Hint: PC-1’s routing decision is based on whether the destination IP address is inside or outside the computer’s local subnet). Any relevant steps from the IPv4 routing process. This is discussed in pages 369-371 of your textbook, as well as this module’s lecture and PowerPoint slides. Minimum length is not specified, but please make sure your answer is thorough and at least mentions the routing process steps that occurred in each ping test. PING TEST (From PC-1) SUCCESS? (YES / NO) EXPLANATION IOU1: 192.168.1.2 yes PC-1 successfully communicates with IOU1, as they are on the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24). R1 fa0/1: 192.168.1.1 yes Successful ping to R1's interface in the same subnet as PC- 1, indicating direct local network communication. R1 fa0/0: 192.168.0.1 yes PC-1 can reach R1's different subnet interface, showing R1 correctly handles local routing. R2 fa0/0: 192.168.0.2 no Failure to ping R2's interface suggests a routing issue or link problem between R1 and R2. R2 fa0/1: 192.168.2.1 no "Destination host unreachable" error indicates PC-1 cannot find a route to the 192.168.2.0 network. PC-2: 192.168.2.100 no Similar to the above, PC-1 cannot reach PC-2 on a different subnet due to lack of routing information Q4.1: Specify the following IP addresses in the extended ping: Source IP address in echo request: 192.168.1.1
