Network Navigator-Network Configurations Guide

Example

Assisting a user in configuring a basic router-on-a-stick setup in GNS3.

Scenario

A user is learning how to segment a network using VLANs and needs help in configuring inter-VLAN routing on a single router. Network Navigator would provide clear, step-by-step instructions on how to create VLANs on a switch, assign them to ports, and configure the router to route traffic between these VLANs.

Example

Helping a user diagnose and resolve an issue where two devices in a network cannot ping each other.

Scenario

A user has set up a simple network with two PCs connected to a switch, but they cannot communicate with each other. Network Navigator would guide the user through checking physical connections, verifying IP configurations, ensuring that the devices are on the same subnet, and checking for any misconfigurations in the switch that could be causing the issue.

Example

Advising on the best practices for securing a small office network in Cisco Packet Tracer.

Scenario

A user wants to secure their network from potential internal and external threats. Network Navigator would recommend configurations like enabling port security on switches, setting up access control lists (ACLs) on routers to filter traffic, and configuring SSH for secure remote access. These recommendations would be presented with explanations on why they are important and how they improve the security posture of the network.
