Setup Steps

  1. Start by setting up the physical topology in EVE-NG:

    • Create nodes for each router, the web server, and the Windows 10 host.
    • Connect the nodes according to the topology diagram using G1 and G2 interfaces.
  2. Configure IP addresses and interfaces on each router:

    • Ensure each router's interfaces (G1 and G2) are configured with the correct IP addresses.
  3. Configure routing between routers:

    • Enable routing protocols (e.g., OSPF) to ensure connectivity between different subnets.
  4. Implement the NAT configurations as per each lab scenario on the respective routers.

  5. Test connectivity:

    • Use ping and traceroute commands to verify connectivity between internal and external networks.
    • Access the web server from the external network using configured NAT rules.
  6. Debug and troubleshoot as needed:

    • Use the provided debug commands to monitor and troubleshoot NAT operations.
