Cisco Networking—WAN Implementation with SOHO Configuration

Springfield assignment Instruction

From the given information, you are required to make a functional network. In Springfield we have a router and four switches connected as daisy chain topology. Then we have output of show commands. It is obvious that it is a non-functional network and you have to implement a solution to make functional.

Task in Springfield assignment

· From the show output commands, you can identify the problems and then provide solution.

· Configure all the tasks as in Springfield assignment as per instructions

· Create Server VLAN, Instructional VLAN, and Administrative VLAN

· Configure Access method of VLANs

· Configure Switch 1 as root bridge

· Configure trunking on all switches

· Configure default gateway

· Create and configure interface VLAN1

First of all, allow me to thank you for your email of offer dated September 2, 2015. I am writing to inform you of my acceptance to your kind offer and in my class CMIT 350/6380. This class has one technical writing assignment broken into three parts: Draft1, Draft2, and Draft3. I do not have any sample assignment, however I am reviewing student’s draft version and providing feedback. To help you in this regard I am submitting you below outline pf paper.

In the beginning please give brief descriptions of the project, such as why are you doing, what are the problems, and possible solutions.

Background information:

Springfield site network is assigned to me to investigate the problems and find the solutions to fix the problem. From the site topology and sh output commands I determined that spanning-tree protocol is misconfigured and it is blocking few ports. And these are the reasons that network is a non-functional.

Implementing Solution:

The following are required information for configuring the network

IP address range 10.30.x.x/16

Device to be configured
