Hi All,
Apologies if I have the wrong thread. I have been set a university assignment which involves me building a network for a hypothetical college using Packet Tracer. As part of the assignment, I need to create three areas (rooms), these are:
1. LAB-1
2. LAB-2
3. Staff Room
I have created four zones, LAB-1, LAB-2, Staff room and a central zone which holds a hypothetical AD server. In LAB-1/LAB-2 there are 4 student computers on VLAN 3, 1 staff computer on VLAN 2 and a printer on VLAN 4. Firstly, I want the student and staff computers to be able to ping the printer (in their respective labs) but preferably not each other. Secondly all the computers both on the labs and in the staff room need to ping the AD server. Each zone has a switch and in the middle of this is a router; my technical professor suggested to use a multilayer switch although I think it might be easier to use a router.
Does anyone have ideas or tips on how to solve this issue? I have attached the Packet Tracer file.
Kind Regards,
Jason

Secondly all the computers both on the labs and in the staff room need to ping the AD server. Each zone has a switch and in the middle of this is a router; - this can be accomplished with either a L3 switch or router providing the L3 inter-vlan routing
Please review the attached working PT file

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the advice, what did you think of my Packet Tracer file? Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
Thanks for sending this through, I have seen that you have changed some of the ip addresses and how LAB-2 switch is used, do you mind explaining what was wrong with my network and how exactly rectified it?
Kind Regards,
Jason
