I was finally able to setup a simple lab to practice on GNS3. This is a way cheaper solution for me, as I cannot afford all the gear for a physical lab, yet.
Okay, so I had 3 Cisco 3640 routers, and 1 switch. This is what I did. I connected three routers to each other, with the generic EtherSwitch in between routers 1 and 2.
The ip addressing is as follows:
Router 1 Int FastEtherenet 1/0 10.10.1.00 255.255.255.0 Connects to the Internet
Router 1 Int FastEtherenet 0/0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 Connects to the Switch
The EtherSwitch also connects to a pc host on the network
Router 2 Int FastEtherenet 0/0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 Connects to the Switch
Router 2 Int FastEtherenet 1/0 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 Connects to Router 3
Router 3 Int FastEtherenet 0/0 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 Connects to Router 2
Router 3 Int FastEtherenet 1/0 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 Connects to a pc host on the network
I hope it makes sense. I also took a screenshot.
I was able to setup static routing between the networks and by the end I was able to ping 192.168.3.1 from Router 1.
Please guide me as to what else should I practice for CCENT exam? Keep in mind I am a total newbie at this, so go with the basics. Thanks for your guidance.
