Question # 1 (7)
Explain and configure TFTP server in storing the configuration of Router. You have to
design the one router connected with 5 switches and one TFTP Server in packet tracer.

TFTP Server

TFTP, or Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is a simple high-level protocol for transferring
data servers use to boot diskless workstations, X-terminals, and routers by using User
Data Protocol (UDP).Although it may sound similar, TFTP works differently
than FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). Although
TFTP is also based in FTP technology, TFTP is an entirely different protocol. Among
the differences is that TFTP’s transport protocol uses UDP which is not secure while
FTP uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to secure information.

Question # 3(7)
What is IP addressing in networking. Why we need subnetting in IP addressing. Suppose
you have IP of 187.3.2.4/23. create at least 10 networks using router, switches in packet
tracer according to this IP.
IP addressing

An IP address (internet protocol address) is a numerical representation that uniquely

identifies a specific interface on the network. IP stands for Internet Protocol and
describes a set of standards and requirements for creating and transmitting data
packets, or datagrams, across networks. The Internet Protocol (IP) is part of the Internet
layer of the Internet protocol suite. In the OSI model, IP would be considered part of the
network layer. An IP address is an address used in order to uniquely identify a device
on an IP network. The address is made up of 32 binary bits, which can be divisible into
a network portion and host portion with the help of a subnet mask.

Subnetting

Subnetting allows you to create multiple logical networks that exist within a single Class
A, B, or C network. If you do not subnet, you are only able to use one network from your
Class A, B, or C network, which is unrealistic. Each data link on a network must have a
unique network ID, with every node on that link being a member of the same network. If
you break a major network (Class A, B, or C) into smaller subnetworks, it allows you to
create a network of interconnecting subnetworks. Each data link on this network would
then have a unique network/subnetwork ID. Any device, or gateway, that connects n
networks/subnetworks has n distinct IP addresses, one for each network / subnetwork
that it interconnects.
