Lab #2 Reflection

In lab number 2 the main concepts were to determine if you configured the devices correctly so you can send a packet. The lab simply told you to diagnose the computer and to look at the scenarios when you send a packet to see if you successfully configured your network right. I configured all of the data that was given to me in the charts, after that i connected all of the devices together in the correct diagram. I turned on all of the ports, used the correct type of wire, and finally got all of the lights to go green.

Now was my part in lab #2 to send a packet from the Host computer to the Eagle_Server, without any type of technical difficulties. That's the main challenge and concept of the lab, to see if you know what you're doing instead of just randomly plugging in cables and typing random numbers. In this case, i did not complete the lab; therefore and i knew what the problem had to be. When i sent the packet over from the host to the eagle server, the packet successfully went through the from the host computer to the switch to the router. The packet did not however, travel to the second router. So right then i knew that the network was not working and i was just configuring with random numbers i did not comprehend with. Understanding what went wrong is the next lab.
