This is how we basically put up a network in a network simulator.
In our exercise we created 3 computers connected in different networks and must able to access or communicate with one another. Here is the diagram of the 3 locally connected computers accessing one another:
After setting the networks, hosts, routers and the switch we proceed with configuring each host to each of its routers. And after that we proceed with the configuration of each router, using its console which looks like this:
We configured the router and created an IP route for each router(of other host computers) to be able to communicate with one another.
The IP Route for Router 1 is:
The IP Route for Router 2 is:
The IP Route for Router 3 is:
After setting it up for each routers we proceed with communicating with each host to another by the means of ping. The ping for host 1 to host 2 and 3 looks like this:
The ping of host 2 to host 1 and 3 looks like this:
And lastly, the ping of host 3 to hosts 1 and 2 looks like this:
After we tried to ping one host to the other hosts, it showed that there's 0% loss of packets sent, it only means that the connection is correct and we have sent IP Packets to one another which was the main goal of the discussion and exercise. Having fulfilled to that, I was amazed by how networks are created and how packets are sent to each of the hosts. As to how I configured the routers to communicate with another, I connected them to one switch and added in the routing table the IP address of the other hosts by putting in:
ip route 192.26.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.26.0.2
ip route 192.26.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.26.0.1
(this example is from host 3)
It was a great experience, although I have tried a lot of times in configuring the router. At this point, I have gain some knowledge about networking and I firmly believe that we will learn more about networking on the other exercises.
I still want to learn more about networking and data communications next time.
