Aim:
The aim of this project is to design and configure a Wide Area Network (WAN) using three
routers and implement static routing using Cisco Packet Tracer.
Theory (Basics):
Wide Area Network (WAN): A WAN is a computer network that covers a large geographical
area, such as multiple cities or even countries. It connects multiple Local Area Networks
(LANs) together and allows for the transmission of data and communication between
different locations.
Router: A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer
networks. It operates at the network layer of the OSI model and uses routing tables to
determine the best path for data transmission.
Static Routing: Static routing is a type of routing where network administrators manually
configure the routing table entries on routers. These entries specify the next-hop router or
exit interface for each destination network. Static routing is typically used in small networks
or in situations where the network topology is relatively stable.
Requirements:
To complete this project, you will need the following:
Procedure:
2. Drag and drop three routers from the device panel onto the workspace. Connect
the routers using Ethernet cables.
3. Configure the IP addresses for each router's interfaces. For example:
Design:
The network design for this project will consist of three routers connected in a
sequential manner. Each router will have two interfaces, with one interface
connecting to the previous router and the other interface connecting to the next
router. The IP addressing scheme will follow the configuration mentioned in the
procedure section.
Results:
After successfully configuring the WAN using static routing, you should be able to
ping the devices connected to different routers from any router in the network. For
example, from Router 1, you should be able to ping the devices connected to Router
2 and Router 3, and vice versa.
