Kind Souls, Please HELP! Packet Tracer Help Needed!

Post by redred »

I'm currently studying networking on my own and I need some help so badly!
I need to do the connections in Packet Tracer but I'm totally not sure how to do it. (The firewall part can be ignored cause Packet Tracer do not support it)

The question is:
1. OneWest has a branch office in Kuala Lumpur (KL). They are connected via a private MPLS network. For added security, HQ and KL routers are supposed to run IPSec ESP in tunnel mode.
2. Internet users should not be able to access the HQ or KL routers.

It's driving me nuts, this assignment. Can I discuss this with a kind soul who is willing to lend me his/her guidance?

The latest version of Packet Tracer (5.2) supports these protocols:

Application: HTTP, TFTP, Telnet, SSH, DNS, DHCP, NTP, SNMP, AAA

Transport:TCP and UDP, TCP Nagle Algorithm and IP Fragmentation, GRE VPN

Network:IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IPv6, ICMPv6, IPsec, RIPv1/v2/ng, Multi-Area OSPF, EIGRP, Static Routing, Route Redistribution, Multilayer Switching, • L3 QoS, NAT, CBAL, Zone-based policy firewall and intrusion prevention system on the ISR

Network Access/Interface:Ethernet (802.3), 802.11, HDLC, Frame Relay, PPP, STP, RSTP, VTP, DTP, CDP, 802.1q, PAgP, L2 QoS, SLARP, Auto Secure, Simple WEP, WPA, EAP

MPLS is not supported and you won't be able to simulate this scenario properly. You should try using GNS3. It's free, based on Dynamips and runs real Cisco IOS images. All protocols and router/switch commands are available. This is a very powerful tool used for higher Cisco Certifications (CCNP, CCIE) but more difficult than Packet Tracer to handle and much more resource-demanding. If you want any help on GNS, I'll be glad to help.
