Basic Frame Relay WAN Configuration Lab
In this assignment you will use Packet Tracer to set up a ficticious WAN between San Francisco, New York and Atlanta. You will set this WAN up using Frame Relay. In the class I have provided you with links to a 4 part You Tube series, which you can use as a guide, but you will need to extrapolate a bit since my network is a bit different.

The NTC Industries Intranet
This WAN is set up using cloud connection services and has 3 geographically different locations (San Francisco, New York and Atlanta). Each area will be connected to the cloud services by a router through a serial cable (with the (DCE - clock side facing the cloud services). Each location will have a switch connected to the router and 3 clients connected to the switch to represent the 100 computers at each location.
Instructions:
This WAN design needs 3 LAN networks that can support 100 computers each with room to grow, and 3 networks to the cloud service node.
  1. Use what you know about subnetting to come up with these 6 networks.
  2. Use Lables in Packet Tracer to Identify each of the 6 Network segments (with subnet mask size indicated /XX).
  3. Use Lables in Packet Tracer to Identify the gateway address for each LAN
  4. Use Lables in Packet Tracer to Identify the IP address for each routers Serial connection to the cloud
You can configure all the clients with a static address as I have shown you in past labs. However, even though it is beyond the scope of this course to train you in cisco DHCP commands, you could watch a you tube video on how to configure DHCP on a router in Packet Tracer. This effort is worth extra credit and has the added bonus of centralizing all the configuration in the routers. All that needs to be done on each client is to click the DHCP radio button.
Rename the routers:
  1. R1 - San Francisco
  2. R2 - New York
  3. R3 - Atlanta
Statically Configure the Routers & Cloud Service

The WAN should support 3 DLCI's
  1. San Francisco to New York
  2. San Francisco to Atlanta
  3. New York to Atlanta
  4. Use Lables in Packet Tracer to Identify the DLCI's address for each of the Frame Relay Routes
Once completed, email a copy of your Packet Tracer file to me as an attachment to your email with 'CNIT 106 - Lab 9 ' as the subject.
