packet tracer project 4

           
           In the topology shown above I have a 4 routers locate in 4 different locations. One in New York, one in Boston and one in vegas. As well as one to represent the borders between the three other routers. When configuring the routers first I had go into privilege mode on the CLI tab. In order to do so I did (router > enable) command which put me in that mode then I went into configuration terminal mode using command (router #config t). Now that I was in config mode I gave each router its hostname, enabled password/secret and gave them each a banner. Then once I was finished with the first part of the basic configurations I went on and configured the interfaces of each router and its networks.
               With router Boston it uses a 1941 router type and has 2 LAN networks connected to itself in its gigabit ethernet ports 0/0 and 0/1. With gigabit ethernet port 0/0 having an interface of 192.168.10.254/24 and gigabit ethernet port 0/1 having an interface of 192.168.20.254/24. Router Boston is connected to router New York over WAN connection using DCE crossover media on its serial port 0/0/0 which has an interface of 1.1.1.5/30 on the 1.1.1.4/30 network. Router New York is also a 1941 router also connected to routers border and Vegas using DCE crossover media connections. Unlike the rest of the routers, router New York is connected to all the routers on serial ports. Such as port 0/0/0 for the interface 1.1.1.1/30 connecting it to the border router across network 1.1.1.0/30. As well as serial port 0/1/0 which connects interface 1.1.1.6/30 across network 1.1.1.4/30 to serial port 0/0/0 on router Boston. Router New York also has serial port 0/0/1 on interface 1.1.1.10/30 connected to interface 1.1.1.9/30 on router Vegas serial port 0/0/0 across network 1.1.1.8/30. Router Vegas is a 1941 router with two LAN connection on its gigabit ethernet ports 0/0 and 0/1 and one WAN connection on its serial port 0/0/0. With the gigabit ethernet port 0/0 it has a interface of 192.168.30.254/24 and on the gigabit ethernet port 0/1 it has a interface of 192.168.40.254/24. In router border its serial port 0/0/0 interface 1.1.1.2/30 it is connected to router New York across network 1.1.1.0/30 and also has a look back port interface of 198.155.202.1/32.
                 In the topology all pings and connection worked and were successful when I did them and checked them.

Basic Router Configuration

       In creating the topology above on packet tracer we used CLI, OSI commands instead of the usually configuration form. The way CLI was different from the other configuration form is that there were more steps to follow and we were able to have more control over the configuration of the topology. The CLI mode also gave us more information on the router that we are using. That can somewhat make using and understanding CLI a bit confusing a first, but once you do understand it don't really forget. It becomes more simple the more we use it. Since CLI os more widely used and works with all computers it is more preferable than other configuration modes.

 QCC Trip Reflection

             On march 20th Ms. Ramirez took her Cisco and web design classes to visit Queens borough community college. When we got to the campus it was mad cold in I only had like one jacket on. looking buttery with my button down and slim fit jeans.  As we was walking we saw many other students most of whom went to Queens borough and other who were visiting we also saw the many different building that held the different classes and majors the 2 year college imposed.  We also met many teachers and staff at the college.

            It was important to visit the college inorder to gain an understanding of how college life would be how the class rooms look. As well as how it felt to be in the building. In the beginning the feed us bagels with cream cheese which was my favorite part. We was also giving an in dept look into what we would learn in class and to what the teacher were like in the school that we would learn from. Most of them seemed interesting and looked like they knew what they was talking about. That there classes would be fun and provide us with a good class room study.

           I learn a lot about the classes I would take in Queens borough if I went. Before then I had only been to colleges to see family and friends that go there. I've haven't gotten the opportunity to go to a college and learn what they do and what it was about before now. In the future I hope I am able to go on more and learn about other college and what they do.

          My expectation of the trip was higher than I thought it would be more food to eat. Since I forgot about the trip subsequently I forgot to bring money so at the end of the trip when people were getting food I was sitting there looking like a hungry savage. All the people with food was just doing us grimy and ain't try to feed us or nothing 'lord Jesus." They just kept on getting me tight. The biggest let down was that I felt that The trip was all in vain since I didn't even get my I.D. card, what a shame.

Which value will be configured for Default Gateway of the Local Area Connection?

A. 10.0.0.0 

B. 10.0.0.254

C. 192.223.129.0

D. 192.223.129.254

Answer (B) since it is on the same network as the ip address but, isn't the network or broadcast. 

Which Command is used to see the path taken by packets across an IP network?

A) Show Ip route
B) Show route
C) Traceroute
D) Trace Ip route

Answer (C): Traceroute is used to take Ip computer network tool used to show the route taken by packets across an Internet Protocol.

Choice (A) can not be the answer since show Ip route is used to display the current state of the routing table.

Choice (B) can not be the answer since show route is used to display all route maps configured or only the one specified.

Chioce (D) can not be the answer since trace Ip route is not a proper term used in cisco ip commands. 

mY GOALS

My goals
TO PASS THE CLASS WITH ATLEAST AN 90% AVERAGE
                I wil acomplish my goal by coming to class going my work and participating in class activities. By working hard and doing well on all my test I will be able to pass my class with a high grade. May even gain enough skill and experties to go on and become a cisco employee.

Question of the day
Why is it important to have a CTE Expo?
           It is important to have a CTE  to allow those whom may no know of the subject to come a freely explore gain knowledge of the subject. With every person that learns of what cisco is about and finds interest in it. Then if they wish they can expanded their knowledge of cisco. The more who learn about Cisco and work with the company the Cisco community grows and is become improved upon by each person working towards the never ending goal of improvement in the organization.

          In Cisco an expo is necessary in order to share with people who may have never learned of the subject or those who may have not have a proper understanding of what the subject is all about. I feel the Cisco expo is also the best way for people to learn Cisco with out actually going in to the networking office and learning it hands on. In our CTE expo we met my expectation in some areas and failed to meet my expectation in orders. One such way i felt we met expectation was with our board and designs set we up. While our presentation was lacking. Next time I would practice to present more. I would like to see more people try to learn cisco in the next cte.
