#Network

192.168.1.12 is my colleague's IP address. 192.168.1.13 is my IP address

• PC1 and VM1 connect to SW1
• PC2 and VM2 connect to SW1
• SW1 connect to the Router1
• Router should have DHCP and DNS.

Same architecture for the right part (symmetric); and they will be connected by Router1 to Router2.

All in the same network. No VLANs for now.

Steps;

1. I connected the devices as in the diagram.
2. Configured the switch, connecting all the interfaces to switchport mode access and the last one to the router by the switchport mode trunk
3. I configured the router by no shutdown
4. I configured the DHCP on the router CLI with exclusions
5. I configured the DNS with name server 4.4.4.4 and gave host address to pcs like ip host PC1 192.168.13.1 by checking the distributed address to the PCs.

Practical steps

1- connect the router to the pc, open putty to connect to the router CLI

show run to see the router is clean

2- connect the ethernet cable to the switch and admin PC

on cmd

ip config to see the ip address of the ethernet network: it was 10.0.0.4

on the internet browser we go to the 10.0.0.1
