How to connect two different networks using Cisco Packet Tracer

1. First you need to deploy at least two end devices to a separate switch.
2. Second you must then assign an IP address to each end device
3. Computer 1 Network 1 IP: 192.168.10.2
4. Computer 2 Network 1 IP: 192.168.10.3
5. Computer 1 Network 2 IP: 192.168.20.2
6. Computer 2 Network 2 IP: 192.168.20.3
7. Then add in a Router for each network, connecting it to the switch
8. Then set the IP address in the router as such:
9. Router 1 IP to the Switch 1: 192.168.10.1
10. Router 1 IP to Router 2: 192.168.30.1
11. Router 2 IP to Switch 2: 192.168.20.1
12. Router 2 IP to Router 1: 192.168.30.2
13. Then set the default gateway on every device to the same as the Router IP to Switch
14. Then go into Router 1 and create a static route to the other network, set the network to 192.168.20.0 then set the mask to 255.255.255.0 after that set the next hop to the Router 2 IP (192.168.30.2). This will give router 1 the information needed to communicate with router 2

Project Aim and Objectives & Scope Activity Sheet   Project Name: Gloscol VR Project   Date: 28.2.2025     1. Defining the Project Aim   The project aim outlines the broad goal or purpose of the project. It should capture the overall vision and answer the question, “What is the main purpose of this project?”   Questions to Consider     What is the overall goal of this project?     To create a virtual tour of the college that can be viewed on VR as well as a desktop or phone.       What problem is this project solving or what opportunity is it creating?     We need to mak e it easier for people to see the college through a VR lens specifically those who cannot entire the college. Or can’t attend open evenings       Who will benefit from this project (stakeholders, customers, team members)?     The main stakeholders of the project are the potential students coming to the college w...

Technical and non-technical threats to an organisation

Technical threats Botnets This is a network of computers that have been intentionally infected with malware by cybercriminals to perform automated tasks on the internet. Bot headers use specialized software to try and find a system in the network that is venerable and use it to gain access to the other computers.   Some of the ways to prevent this include using strong passwords, improving your network security, making sure you have a reliable and up-to-date antivirus, etc.   Dos (denial of service) This is an attack made form a computer meant to shut down a machine or network, making it inaccessible to its intended users. A Dos attack is accomplished by flooding the target with TCP or UDP traffic, or sending so much information that it causes the system to crash.   To prevent this, you can make sure that all the software that you use is up to date, installing firewalls, and following other basic cyber security techniques.   DDOS (distributed denial of service attack)...
