Packet Tracer Lab 2.7.1 Reflection

This lab was simple to complete but the PDU part was difficult. I could not figure out how to send the PDU properly because it kept saying it failed and would not go through to the Eagle Server. Finally, I turned the AAA port on for the Eagle Server and tried again and configured the IP addresses for the source and destination and managed to send the packet successfully. Then I tried the simulation and it was a bit confusing because I was not sure what I was doing but everything seemed to work fine and the packets were being captured and forwarded between devices successfully on the network. So basically, the lab was pretty confusing more than difficult.

Packet Tracer Lab 1.7.1 Reflection

In this lab, I learned how to create a network in Packet Tracer. At first, it was very difficult because it was tough to navigate the program. However, once I got a basis on what to do, I knew what to do from there. The most difficult part of the lab was figuring how to connect R1-ISP to R2-Central with a Serial DTE cable. I didn't know that I had to click on the parts I needed to add and then actually add it to the routers and then configure them. After that, the network is easy to set up. Overall, this was a slightly difficult lab because I was new to the program but I am sure it will become easier as I get more used to it.

Progress Report

My grades improved so far this marking period. Overall, I am happy with my progress in my test scores and my lab grades. Even with my better work, I still have a 96 and that grade can still improve. I think to improve I must stop talking so much in class and finishing my work on time.
