Packet Tracer Lab 4.7.1.3 Reflection

This experiment dealt with subnetting, documenting addressing schemes and verifying connectivity between all components of the network. This lab was as difficult as the culminating Packet Tracers in the previous chapter, however, this one took less work to complete so I decided to take a stab at it. The first thing the instructions said to do was insert 4 2621XM routers into the topology and then connect 4 switches to the routers. I first had to put the proper modules into the routers in order to meet the requirement of having 4 FastEthernet and 4 Serial ports. After that, I went into the CLI of the routers and configured the ports of each router. The activity was pretty lengthy, especially after I got to 20% complete. Afterwards, it became lengthy, however I still managed to complete it. All in all, the lab was fairly challenging, especially the subnetting part, but I feel I was able to do it after understanding the concepts and theories presented in the chapter.
