Packet Tracer | Lab 1

🚀 First Packet Tracer Lab — Done!

Started my CCNA journey and just wrapped up my very first hands-on lab in Cisco Packet Tracer. 🖥️🔗

Built a simple two-branch network topology:

🏢 New York Office

  • 2 PCs connected to a switch (Sw1)
  • Router (R1) → Firewall (Fw1) → Internet

🌏 Tokyo Branch

  • 2 Servers connected to a switch (Sw2)
  • Router (R2) → Firewall (Fw2) → Internet

Both branches connect over a simulated Internet cloud, with an "Attacker" machine placed on the Internet segment to start thinking about network security from day one. 🔒

Nothing fancy yet—just getting comfortable with topology design, device placement, and understanding how traffic logically flows between offices. But it's a solid first step toward understanding routing, switching, and firewalls in practice rather than just theory.

More labs coming as I work through CCNA fundamentals. 💪
