Creation of the Baratiwa Network Part 2.

Next we had to create the school network on Packet Tracer.

We first threw together an ideal setup of our network using equipment available on packet tracer.

This was designed to have as little latency between the switches on each floor and using the equipment commonly available in the Cisco software.

However, this design proved impractical as we had yet to cover Ether-channel.

We also discovered some limitation of Packet Tracer, as discussed in the separate post.

The simplified network.

We then decided to create a more stream-lined, working network; Of which we can easily modify and improve in the future.

It was decided that it is best to use the empty Packet tracer devices as this allowed more control over what we connected and closer to an ideal real network.
