I recently wrapped up a CCNA project using GNS3, where I set up RIP routing and DHCP across a virtual network comprising three distinct branch offices. Each branch featured a different operating system environment:

• Branch 1 ran on Windows
• Branch 2 used Kali Linux
• Branch 3 operated on Red Hat

This hands-on experience helped me strengthen my understanding of dynamic routing configuration, DHCP setup, and managing mixed-platform networks to maintain smooth communication and compatibility. Excited to put these skills into practice in real-world networking environments!

Part 2 coming soon!
