Objective
In this lab, we built a working network with subnets using routers, switches, hubs and computers.
Equipment
Router
Switch
Hub
Computer
Hyperterminal
Notes and Observations
We started this lab by first drawing out the intended network with everyone having a unique subnet given we were using a class b network and borrowing hosts as needed and began making connections. By connecting each computer to a switch and then a router, we followed this process to create our network. After this, we copied the hyperterminal folder to the desktop to have the ability to configure each router and its respective interface separately with the corresponding IP address.

Conclusion
Although the lab was very straightforward and simple, I ran into some problems between configuring the router and being able to successfully ping any otbher router and/or computer. Despite the failed attempt, more practice will be done to further successful networks in the future.
