module five

I’m working on a information technology question and need guidance to help me learn.

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. Task Evidence Supporting Resources Configure Static Routing Screenshots of IP Configuration dialog and a brief explanation of steps taken Packet Tracer Network Simulator, Chapter 4 Configure RIP Screenshot of RIP Config tab and a brief explanation of steps taken Packet Tracer Network Simulator, Chapter 6 Configure NAT Screenshot of NAT translations table verifying that NAT is active (between two subnets) and a brief explanation of the steps taken Hint: Ping one of your admin PCs from the router command line to populate the NAT translations table before taking the screenshot. Configuring Network Address Translation: Getting Started Configure DHCP 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 Video: Setup Application Layer Services With Servers in Packet Tracer – Part One (11:39) Configure DNS Screenshot of DNS Config tab and a brief explanation of the steps taken Video: Setup Application Layer Services With Servers in Packet Tracer – Part One (11:39) Network Topology Screenshot of the new network displaying functional communication and IP addresses labeled for all devices 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.
