Follow your skill level and go through the slides. If you feel comfortable, go through the higher level slides as well and finally, attempt the quiz.

After learning NWF and INTT, you become IP Man (叶问)

In this network,

You configure static routes such that when you ping PC1 to PC2, the ICMP request packets travel from Router A, Router B and Router D. On the other hand, the ICMP reply packets travel from Router D, Router C and Router A. The forward and return paths are different. This is known as assymetric routing. Kungfu routing.

Try this during the next lesson.

When mistakes are made....

Mistakes are made so that you can learn from them. In the process, you gain better insights so that you will not repeat them when you move on to higher level of study or go out to work. Usually when mistakes are made, you tend to remember them longer than just mere memorization of facts. Hence, it is important that you keep an open mind towards learning, have no fear about making mistakes during the course of learning, learn to think beyond the content and ask why or why not things can be done in different ways. It is the quality of your thoughts that counts, not the quantity of details which you memorized and almost surely, forget one month after the exam.

Learning by questioning, learning by doing, learning by teaching others

Help needed

PC1 is a lab PC situated in College East and PC3 is a result server situated in College West.

Download the network file and open in packet tracer
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55776142/Help_Needed_Static.pkt

The hacker group Anonymous@CE want to used PC1 and hack into the PC3 in College West to steal exam results. The problem is they cannot ping to PC3 at all. They manage to steal the routers' login passwords from Singtel and engage the students from PL1101Q to configure the static routes to access PC3.

Hint: Need to configure forward and reverse static routes from PC1 to PC3 in order for both to be pingable.

Good luck !
