Topology

Procedures

 Using appropriate cables, the connection was done as shown in the topology.
Router to router = serial DCE
PC to Switch = copper straight through
Switch to router = copper straight through
 Ip addresses on the interfaces on the router and on SVI for switch were set.
Eg: Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 (default route were set on both the routers)
 Ip address on the computer interface were set.

Conclusion

After successfully accomplishing this lab on wide area network we were able to learn and understand
how a make a WAN topology. We also learnt that different connections have different cable for
example router to router we need a serial DCE cable. Configuration of switch and routers was also
done.

We can also conclude that a WAN is very complex and requires reliable techniques to probe the
network. An active probe can load the network, which should not be involved in the inference
process. In a link-level delay estimation, the required one-way delay measurements, can not to be
easy to obtain, and a synchronization process of the end hosts is necessary. Besides, the information
of the network is shared by different providers and this aspect increases the difficulty to obtain the
measurements. Finally, the computational aspect of WAN topology, is very critic and depends in
particular, on the dimension of the network and on inference model adopted. These are some
aspects that represent the stunted to pay to obtain good results which can be provided by the
Network Tomography.
