CIT 247 Lab 5: Basic Router Configuration
Instructions:
Please answer the questions below and include screenshots when requested.
When you are finished, add your last name or NKU username to the beginning of this document’s filename. After this, upload this lab report alongside your GNS3 work to Canvas.
*If you worked with a lab partner, please add his or her name after yours and separate the names with a semicolon. If not, simply delete the partner’s placeholder text.
Questions:
Q1.1: How many broadcast domains are in your topology? Explain why, specifying which devices are dividing them. If needed, review the Module 1 learning materials.
Q2.1: Take one or two screenshots of the results from the show command on both routers with the IP addresses configured.
Q2.2: How were the routing tables populated? What kinds of routes are shown?
Q3.1: Document the results of each ping test with the table below. Ping all the listed devices from PC-1, then specify whether each ping test succeeded and explain the results. Your explanations should discuss:
- The echo requests and echo replies (i.e., how the traffic was forwarded from and then back to PC-1).
- The routing decisions PC-1 and, if applicable, the routers made (Hint: PC-1’s routing decision is based on whether the destination IP address is inside or outside the computer’sNKU).
- Any relevant steps from the IPv4 routing process. This is discussed in pages 369-371 of your textbook, as well as this module’s lecture and PowerPoint slides.
Minimum length is not specified, but please make sure your answer is thorough and at least mentions the routing process steps that occurred in each ping test.

Q4.1: Specify the following IP addresses in the extended ping:
- Source IP address in echo request:
- Destination IP address in echo request:
- Source IP address in echo reply:
- Destination IP address in echo reply:
Q4.2: Perform the same ping tests from PC-1, specify if they succeeded, and explain why. Record your answers in the table below. To save time, if the successful tests from the first table succeed again, just state “Results are the same” for the explanation. The requirements for the explanations in Q3.1 still apply here.
