Research Network Design

      . You are required to set up a simple network using minimum three PCs and minimum two routers, or use simulation software to set up the same network. . There are numerous web sites available that discuss Linux networking. You are expected to list your sources of information for the different tasks. When completing this project, you may encounter errors or experience difficulties getting your setup to work. Ifthis occurs, your challenge is to analyse why they happen and report on how you solved the problems you encountered. Additional information will be provided for technology options to use in creating this lab closer to the assessment due date. Task1 - Setting up a Network You are required to set up a network consisting of PCs, routers and servers. You need to configure routing between routers (minimum two routers required). The routers will have multiple network interfaces. The PC (client) will be connected to one of the router's interfaces and other PCs (servers) will be connected to the second router's interface. Client <-> Router <-> Router <-> Server(s) Setup separate server for each application/service. Each side of the router will be in its own LAN (or WAN) segment and should have a different network address, use ONLY private IP address ranges to design this network. Perform the following activities and support your workings with screenshots [10 marks]: 1. Configure the PC, Server and Router interfaces with appropriate network addressing; 2. Configure routing (IP packet forwarding) on the routers; 3. On the client ping the client's own network interface, then the local router gateway interface, then the remote router interface, then the server; a. Use the traceroute command from the client to the server. Include results ofthe traceroute in your submission.
