Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well.
I'm currently working on a network configuration task and I'm having a bit of trouble completing it. I still have a lot to learn, and I would really appreciate any guidance or help from this community to better understand and solve the problem.
Thank you in advance for your support!

Whenever u have a moment, feel free to share ur topology here and I’ll take a look at it....

Alright man, I hear u, now let me give you the long answer ahahahhah

@Quizzzy I respect ur hustle man, and it's great u're taking initiative to learn. Now, based on ur scenario, here's a structured approach to tackle each requirement:
1. Network Addressing Design: First identify if you're working with Windows/Linux networking. Create an IP scheme using private ranges (like 10.0.0.0/8 for core, 192.168.0.0/16 for users) and document everything in a spreadsheet with device names, IPs, and purposes.
2. Wireless Deployment For the wireless network, select enterprise-grade APs (like Cisco 2800/3800 series) that support ur user density. Configure WPA2-Enterprise with RADIUS authentication for security, and test coverage with tools like Ekahau or NetSpot.
3. Switch Configuration Use VLANs to segment traffic (e.g., VLAN 10 for users, VLAN 20 for servers). On Cisco switches:
vlan 10,20
int r gi1/0/1-24
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10
4. Internal Routing (Single AS)
For OSPF (recommended for internal routing):
router ospf 1
network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
Verify with show ip ospf neigh and traceroutes....
5. External Routing (Multi-AS)
For BGP between ASes:
router bgp 65001
neighbor 203.0.113.1 remote-as 65002
network 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0
Check routes with sh ip bgp....
HOPE IT ISNT TOOOO LONG, and hope it helps and ping me if u need some links or stuff, and have fun!!!

Were you initially an unconfigured PT lab to configure?
For starters, when hosts are separated by routers, they are usually in different subnets.
Unsure what's desired for spec 3.d.
Also unclear how ASs should be used for 5.
Possibly surprising, 1.b. assigns host IPs statically, yet multi AS topologies (5.) might be a bit advanced for a "Junior Network Administrator".

U got it/ Give me an hour to finish this meeting, and I’ll catch up with u then.........

@Quizzzy man, could u please check the ZIP file again? When I open it, it is empty, nothing inside........

BTW, before my earlier reply, I downloaded the zip file and did find and open a PT file.
My comment about hosts separated by routers, usually being in different subnets, was specific to the PT file where all the hosts, except wireless hosts, are in the same /24.

This is for the zip file, I forgot to put the pkt file there. I apologize.
