Objectives
In this lab, you will document a network that is unknown to you.
· Test network connectivity.
· Compile host addressing information.
· Remotely access default gateway devices.
· Document default gateway device configurations.
· Discover devices on the network.
· Draw the network topology.
Background / Scenario
Your employer has been hired to take over the administration of a corporate network because the previous
network administrator has left the company. The network documentation is missing and needs to be
recreated. You job is to document the hosts and network devices including all the device addressing and
logical interconnections. You will remotely access network devices and use network discovery to complete a
device table and draw the network topology.
This is Part I of a two-part series of activities. You will use the documentation that you create in this activity to
guide you as you troubleshoot the network in Part II, Packet Tracer - Troubleshooting Challenge - Using
Documentation to Solve Issues.
As you investigate and document the network topology, make note of issues that you discover that do not
adhere to the practices taught in the CCNA curriculum.
Instructions
Part 1: Part 1: Test Connectivity
Ping between the PCs and the internet server to test the network. All PCs should be able to ping one another
and the internet server.

Packet Tracer - Troubleshooting Challenge - Use Documentation to Solve Issues
Connect to each default gateway device using the Telnet protocol and record information about the interfaces
that are in use in the table. The VTY password is cisco and privileged EXEC password is class.
C:\> telnet IP_address
Reflection
You may have noticed that some of the practices used to configure the network devices are out-of-date,
inefficient, or not secure. Make a list of as many recommendations that you have regarding how the devices
should be reconfigured to follow the practices that you have learned in the CCNA curriculum
