Lab 2.7.1 Reflection

In this this lab we used packet tracer to set up another network. The topology diagram showed us a basic set up of how it is suppose to turn out.  I was able the set up the network and configure all the devices correctly as the lab suggested me to. But for some reason there was still problems with the pack simulation. As the packets traveled to the other devices once it got to the router it would show an "X" on the packet meaning most likely that there was a problem with the packet being sent to the router. This occurred when i added the simple PDU as a test message from computer 1b to the eagle server. It failed to even go past the router for some unknown reason. What would happen if it was successful the packet would have appeared in the event list as a packet that was "detected" or "sniffed". Task 3 told me to switch to simulation mode in  which i would able to examine the packet in each step as it went through each device. In task 4 it told me to experiment a little with topology given. I was able to progress more than the previous set up and as a result was able to get a better understanding of what this lab wanted to teach me.
