CYB 210 Module Five Packet Tracer Activity Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
In this activity, you will use Packet Tracer to simulate the reconfiguration of devices in a reference network. To complete this activity, you will need to revise an
existing network by modifying IP addresses (both static and dynamic addressing) and configuring network services to ensure the new network meets the given
requirements.
Scenario
Your manager has tasked you with creating a simulated proof of concept for a reconfigured network that meets the following requirements:
 Admin network must be assigned static IP addresses in a new range
 Newly added server must be configured for DNS/DHCP
 Student network must be assigned IP addresses via DHCP rather than the current static address configuration
 Network address translation (NAT) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) must be configured to route traffic properly
Your manager has provided the following files for you to complete this project:
 Current Network State
o Current Network Topology/Simulation file (Packet Tracer)
o Current Network Configuration (Excel spreadsheet)
 Reconfigured Network
o New Network Configurations (Excel spreadsheet)
The New Network Configurations file contains three tabs (Main Configuration, RIP and NAT, and DHCP and DNS), each with specific requirements and guidance
for the new network. Your manager has asked for specific evidence for each area of the new network configuration and some brief guidelines of the steps you
took in Packet Tracer to complete each area. This information will be provided to the network administrators who will complete the actual network
configuration. Refer to the New Network Configurations spreadsheet and the following table to guide you in your submission.

Hint: Ping one of your admin PCs from the router command line
to populate the NAT translations table before taking the

Prompt
Submit a document with screenshots of your completed configuration interface windows, your final topology, and explanations of the steps you took to
complete the modifications. Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
I. Change static routing (subnet masks, IP addressing, and default gateway) for the new network configuration. Submit a screenshot of the IP
Configuration dialog window and a brief explanation of the steps you took.
II. Change RIP to accommodate two new network configurations. Submit a screenshot of the RIP Configuration dialog window and a brief explanation of
the steps you took.
III. Configure NAT on the router. Submit a screenshot of the NAT translations table and a brief explanation of the steps you took.
IV. Configure DHCP services. Submit two screenshots: The DHCP Config tab and at least one host device displaying the IP Configuration window with an
appropriate IP address obtained via DHCP. Also include a brief explanation of the steps taken.
V. Configure DNS for the server name and IP address. Submit a screenshot of the DNS Config tab and a brief explanation of the steps you took.
VI. Label all devices and networks with the IP addresses. Submit a screenshot of the entire network topology.
Rubric
Guidelines for Submission: Your submission should include two files. Your network modification proof of concept should be a Word document containing all
relevant screenshots and explanations. Use a filename that includes the course code, the assignment title, and your name—for example,
CYB_100_Project_One_Neo_Anderson.docx. You should also submit your Packet Tracer file using the same naming convention.
