Milestone 2 Presentation Milestone 2 Presentation - The Full Milestone2 Powerpoint. Milestone 2 Presentation recording - One Drive link to video recording of presentation. Project Summary On track to complete all objectives The team tested four different network simulators against 25 different requirements. Each of the requirements was ranked for each of the simulators and cosine similarity was used to find the one that best suits the project goals....
Progress Summary We are currently in the final stages of testing the network simulators. We are on track to have a final selection by the second milestone. Meeting Summary We met twice this week on 10/10 and 10/13. We discussed our current progress in testing the four simulators. Member Activities Team Member Major Tasks and Contributions Workload (hours) Justin McCannon Created a general Cisco command guide and simple lab guide to use with both Cisco Modeling Labs and Cisco Packet tracer....
Progress Summary Team has made solid progress in setting up the test network in Packet Tracer, GNS3, and EVE-NG and started testing them against the requirements performance vectors. Numerous issues with NS3 have required it to be dropped as a potential simulator as simply installing the program is a task that requires familiarity with the Linux terminal. Creating simulation scenarios requires in-depth knowledge of either C++ or Python to create simulation programs....
Progress Summary This week, we prepared a multi-area network map complete with network devices, endpoints, IP address scheme, and VLAN scheme. This will be used to test the simulators and will be the starting point for the final networking manual. The team is beginning to properly familiarize themselves with the various simulators. Meeting Summary Met on 9/26 and 9/29 for 15 minutes each. We discussed plans for beginning the testing phase of our network simulator selection process....

Project Summary On track to complete all objectives We have completed a list of requirements, a list of potential candidates, and begun intital research on the simulators. List of simulators We have decided on the following four simulators as potential candidates. Cisco Packet tracer GNS3 EVE-NG NS3 Next Steps Finalize requirement rankings with project sponsor Install simulators and test against performance vectors Perform final vector calculation to determine final simulator choice....
Progress Summary Compiled and finalized list of potential candidates. Meeting Summary Team met on 9/12 for 28 minutes and on 9/16 for 10 minutes. The team researched and compiled a list of potential candidates. Member Activities Team Member Major Tasks and Contributions Workload (hours) Justin McCannon Met with team on Monday and Thursday to compile candidates. Installed Manjaro Linux VMto test NS3. Installed OVAs for GNS3 and EVE-NG....
Progress Summary Completed project plan and initial Gantt chart. Set up project website and created initial pages Meeting Summary Team met for an hour on 9/6. The team finalized the project plan and Gantt chart. The team discussed the next steps where we will begin coming up with a list of specifications for the network simulators and begin installing and testing them to test them against the specifications. Member Activities Team Member Major Tasks and Contributions Workload (hours) Justin McCannon Built initial project website using Hugo and hosted site using Netlify....
