Activity 6.7.5: Subnet and Router Configuration

Addressing Table
This activity does not include an addressing table.

Learning Objectives

Subnet an address space per given requirements Assign appropriate addresses to interfaces and document Configure and activate Serial and FastEthernet interfaces Test and verify configurations Reflect upon and document the network implementation

Introduction:
In this PT activity, you will design and apply an IP addressing scheme for the topology shown in the Topology Diagram. You will be given one address block that you must subnet to provide a logical addressing scheme for the network. The routers will then be ready for interface address configuration according to your IP addressing scheme. When the configuration is complete, verify that the network is working properly.

Task 1: Subnet the Address Space.

Step 1. Examine the network requirements. You have been given the 192.168.1.0/24 address space to use in your network design. The network consists of the following segments:

The LAN connected to router R1 will require enough IP addresses to support 15 hosts. The LAN connected to router R2 will require enough IP addresses to support 30 hosts. The link between router R1 and router R2 will require IP addresses at each end of the link.

Do not use Variable Length Subnetting for this activity. Step 2. Consider the following questions when creating your network design.

In your notebook or separate piece of paper answer the following questions. 1. 2. 3. 4. How many subnets are needed for this network? What is the subnet mask for this network in dotted decimal format? What is the subnet mask for the network in slash format? How many usable hosts are there per subnet?

Step 3. Assign subnetwork addresses to the Topology Diagram. 1. Assign second subnet to the network attached to R1. 2. Assign third subnet to the link between R1 and R2. 3. Assign fourth subnet to the network attached to R2. At the end of this task your completion rate should be 0%.

Task 2: Determine Interface Addresses.

Step 1: Assign appropriate addresses to the device interfaces.

1. Assign the first valid host address in second subnet to the LAN interface on R1. 2. Assign the last valid host address in second subnet to PC1. 3. Assign the first valid host address in third subnet to the WAN interface on R1. 4. Assign the last valid host address in third subnet to the WAN interface on R2. 5. Assign the first valid host address in fourth subnet to the LAN interface of R2. 6. Assign the last valid host address in fourth subnet to PC2.
Step 2: Document the addresses to be used in the table provided under the Topology Diagram. At the end of this task your completion rate should be 0%

Task 3: Configure the Serial and FastEthernet Addresses.

Step 1: Configure the router interfaces.

To complete the activity in Packet Tracer you will be using the Config Tab. When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router. Note: Remember the Port Status of the interface must be turned on. Note: The clock rate for any DCE serial connection is 64000.
Step 2: Configure the PC interfaces.

Configure the Ethernet interfaces of PC1 and PC2 with the IP addresses and default gateways from your network design.
At the end of this task your completion rate should be 100%.

Task 4: Verify the Configurations.

Answer the following questions to verify that the network is operating as expected. 1. 2. 3. 4. From the host attached to R1, is it possible to ping the default gateway? From the host attached to R2, is it possible to ping the default gateway? From the router R1, is it possible to ping the Serial 0/0/0 interface of R2? From the router R2, is it possible to ping the Serial 0/0/0 interface of R1?

Note: In order to ping from a router, you must be in the CLI tab.
At the end of this task your completion rate should be 100%.

Expert: Route Ranger replied 429 days and 8 hours ago. Ok, so you've got like 40 or 50 questions there. Are you asking me to just answer 50 questions there for you? Or are you asking me for some specific information? And where does the packet captures tie into all of this?Route Ranger40430.0345803241 Customer replied 429 days and 8 hours ago. As you can see..It is not very straightforward. I need help completing the whole thing..I need it all explained and answered. And walked through it.

Expert: Route Ranger replied 429 days and 7 hours ago. Ok, well that's just way too much. I've done some questions but this is like 50 questions, subnetting AND configuring multiple

routers, Frame Relay circuits, etc. I could answer each question, configure the equipment but the time is just too much, especially walking you through and explaining everything. You're asking to be taught Subnetting, IP addressing schemes, Frame Relay, basic router configurations, and answer 40 or more questions on top of that so I'm afraid I wouldn't have the time to do 40 or more questions and all those configs. There might be someone else in here who'd want this one though, as its very basic stuff, but just too much of it on a single ticket for me so I'll have to opt out. Customer replied 429 days and 7 hours ago. Ok Opt out accepted...Now you know why I had trouble with this..The time is too much because of such bad english in the question. Instead of just do this first and demo and teach..And this is supposed to be one simple basic lab question.. I don't blame you, I would opt out too and I accept your opt out and unfortunatley I still need to complete this..I have been trying to complete this for over 7 hrs. So, I will have to ask another expert. Thanks for your time and consideration of the problem..

Expert: Route Ranger replied 429 days and 7 hours ago. Well none of its difficult. All very straight forward actually. Basic networking 101. You've got an ip block to subnet. Slash it down to a 28 bit mask, etc, assign basic router commands to the interfaces, set up basic static routing, (ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.240 fa0/1, etc) and ping across the subnets. In fact it couldn't be easier. Although you didn't explain or show the part that is supposedly asking for packet captures, which seemed to be the original question you asked. I could do all of it in a couple of hours. But a couple of hours work for one question is just not logical, so I opted out. I doubt anyones going to take on that many questions for this, but they might. You never know. This is very easy stuff though. Absolutely nothing hard here, and stuff you're going to want to know if you plan on doing any kind of networking. Anyway good luck.

Expert: Route Ranger replied 429 days and 5 hours ago. Doesn't look like anyones picking this one up so tell you what I'll do for you here, if you want. I'll answer the questions defining the subnets and I'll give you the IP addresses to configure on the routers. But I won't log into the schools network as you, and take the exam for you by configuring everything on your behalf. Not only would that be more work than would be reasonable for this one ticket, but it would not be something I would be willing to do for obvious reasons. So I can give you the basic information you need as far as addresses across the network. Basically I'll answer all the numbered questions but I won't do the configurations. I'll give you the IP's you need to do them yourself, and then IF you need help once you're on the routers you can open a new case and ask for me and I'll help you through the router configurations. If that sounds fair, let me know. RRRoute Ranger40430.1259645023 Customer replied 429 days and 5 hours ago. ok sounds like a deal

Expert: Route Ranger replied 429 days and 5 hours ago. Ok, give me some time and I'll put it up for you here tonight. Customer replied 429 days and 5 hours ago. ok

Expert: Route Ranger replied 429 days and 4 hours ago. Task 1: Subnet the Address Space. Step 1. Examine the network requirements. You have been given the 192.168.1.0/24 address space to use in your network design. The network consists of the following segments: * The LAN connected to router R1 will require enough IP addresses to support 15 hosts. * The LAN connected to router R2 will require enough IP addresses to support 30 hosts. * The link between router R1 and router R2 will require IP addresses at each end of the link.

Do not use Variable Length Subnetting for this activity. Step 2. Consider the following questions when creating your network design. In your notebook or separate piece of paper answer the following questions. 1. How many subnets are needed for this network? 3 2. What is the subnet mask for this network in dotted decimal format? 255.255.255.192 3. What is the subnet mask for the network in slash format? /26 4. How many usable hosts are there per subnet? 62 Step 3. Assign subnetwork addresses to the Topology Diagram. 1. Assign second subnet to the network attached to R1. Network = 192.168.1.64/26 2. Assign third subnet to the link between R1 and R2. Network = 192.168.1.128/26 3. Assign fourth subnet to the network attached to R2. Network = 192.168.1.192/26 At the end of this task your completion rate should be 0%. Task 2: Determine Interface Addresses. Step 1: Assign appropriate addresses to the device interfaces. 1. Assign the first valid host address in second subnet to the LAN interface on R1. 192.168.1.65 2. Assign the last valid host address in second subnet to PC1. 192.168.1.126

3. Assign the first valid host address in third subnet to the WAN interface on R1. 192.168.1.129 4. Assign the last valid host address in third subnet to the WAN interface on R2. 192.168.1.190 5. Assign the first valid host address in fourth subnet to the LAN interface of R2. 192.168.1.193 6. Assign the last valid host address in fourth subnet to PC2. 192.168.1.254 Step 2: Document the addresses to be used in the table provided under the Topology Diagram.

Task 3: Configure the Serial and FastEthernet Addresses. Use standard commands, i.e. enter global configuration mode, enter interface configuration mode, enter ip address x.x.x.x etc.

Note the DCE sets the clock rate on a serial circuit, so here are the basic commands you'll need to set the clock rate and configure a serial circuit on the router. You will ONLY do this on router 1. Router 2 is the DTE. Router1>enable Router1#configure terminal Router1(config)#interface serial 1/0 Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.129 255.255.255.192 Router1(config-if)#clock rate 64000 (makes it the DCE)

Router1(config-if)#no shutdown (turns the interface on) Router1(config-if)#exit Router1(config)# On the Fast Ethernet (LAN) interface do likewise only you won't be setting clocking of course. Router1>enable Router1#configure terminal Router1(config)#interface fa0/0 Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.65 255.255.255.192 Router1(config-if)#no shutdown (turns the interface on) Router1(config-if)#exit Router1(config)#

Step 2: Configure the PC interfaces. Configure the Ethernet interfaces of PC1 and PC2 with the IP addresses and default gateways from your network design. PC1 IP = 192.168.1.126 MASK = 255.255.255.192 Default Gateway 192.168.1.65 PC2 IP = 192.168.1.254 MASK = 255.255.255.192 Default Gateway = 192.168.1.193 At the end of this task your completion rate should be 100%. --------Extra notes. I threw in the router commands since they're so basic. If you want to be able to ping across the subnet then you'll need routing, in this case static routing would do the trick but since they don't specifically ask for it I think their intention is for your ping to fail. That's because your next lesson is probably going to be adding static routes and using basic routing protocols like RIP. The PINGS to the local interfaces of course will suceed, i.e PC1 pinging the LAN interface on Router 1, will succeed, however pinging over to the 4th subnet on PC2 will fail, unless you do one of three things. 1. Set a default gateway on R1 to either its serial interface or the serial interface of R2. (which would look like this - ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192 192.168.1.190) 2. Set a static IP router (ip route 192.168.1.192 255.255.255.192 192.168.1.190) 3. Configure RIP on the interface, which is beyond the scope of this question since they don't mention routing protocols so the first two should do. Now normally on a serial interface you'd also set bandwidth. The bandwidth command would be circuit specific, for example a T1 would look like this. Router1(config-if)#bandwidth 1536

You also would set protocols like Frame Relay, and set line coding, Frame Type, etc. But since this is all they ask for I'd just do the minimum because they WANT you to see that the ping across the routers fail from the PC's, even though router 1 knows about Router 2. It doesn't know about the far side and isn't routing until you tell it which way to route. But the main lesson I think they are trying to teach you here is the advantage of variable length subnet masks. See on your serial links, normally you would want to use a 30 bit mask (255.255.255.252) as it only permits 2 hosts per subnet. But the question instructs you to NOT use variable length masks, so they want you to see the disadvantages. By default regardless of how you subnet you're wasting two host address each time you subnet, one for "wire" and one for "broadcast". So you want to subnet efficiently. This lab is an example of an INefficient method of subnetting. One that wastes address space particularly on WAN circuits like these two serial interfaces on the routers. Your next assignment will be to either be setting up routing, or using variable length subnet masks. This is what they're trying to get across. The use of variable length subnet masks for efficient network subnetting. Also the need for routers to be "told" where to route. That will be your next lessons in this course you're taking. This should give you all you need to complete the assignment. Let me know if anything is unclear.Route Ranger40430.2110912037 Customer replied 429 days and 1 hours ago.

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks..This assignment just got canceled today as I racked my brain over it for hours lastnight and today..I did learn a couple of things. But it caused more confusion than anything. I went over your answers and still could not get it to work. But I believe it is totally fair to pay you for the job done..I was able to get the packet tracer simulation up to 63% done. It did not like the IP addresses..So not sure what happened there. It said all were incorrect. I believe yours were 100% correct as I did visit some other forums and they hinted and mentioned at some of the addresses you gave.I just want to say thanks again and who knows, I may ask you for help in the future..Take care and have a great weekend...

Expert: Route Ranger replied 428 days and 5 hours ago. The ONLY way those answers could come back wrong for that question (its math, its not guesswork or opinion, it either adds up correctly or it doesn't) is if you entered the IP information wrong. I am guessing at this point, when you entered the IP's I gave you, you kept entering in the "/26" with them. Is that right? Is that what you did? Because that subnet is correct, and its the very first (and only 1 of 2 that will work for the parameters of the question).

In fact, if you read the question you wrote here you'll see that it specifically states "the 4th subnet" after asking you to identify how many subnets were needed. 3 subnets were needed. 1 for LAN 1. 1 for LAN 2. and 1 for the serial links between the two routers. There's nothing hard, confusing or elusive there. 3 subnets. On a 192.168.1.0./24 network, subnetted without variable length masks. And it said that you needed to be able to support, up to 30 hosts per subnet.

Therefore the natural subnet would be /26, i.e. 255.255.255.192. This gives you 4 subnets and up to 62 hosts per subnet. Thus answers the question to a Tee. If they said its wrong, then THEY'RE wrong, and owning a network engineering firm, I'll be happy to tell them so. And I'd challenge ANYONE to demonstrate one single thing wrong with that answer. This is not complicated stuff. This is BASIC networking 101. Nothing fancy. Nothing difficult. And its CCNA stuff, which is junior grade entry level networking (not to demean the CCNA, just being clear that there's nothing advanced here or unclear, just basic stuff). I got my CCNP and CCDP about half a decade ago, and my CCNA about a decade ago and I can tell you this question is routine. Now that being said, I understand it may be daunting for a beginner to learn subnetting, but this is math. 192.168.1.0/24, with 4 subnets and up to 30 hosts per subnet is a /26 mask. Period. That's the first most efficient subnet in the path, and the only one that provides for scalability within the subnets. No gray area. No confusion. Nothing "wrong" there. Its MATH. Its precise. Not a guess, hunch or my "opinion".Its either right, or its not and that is 150 percent right. The question said it needed up to 30 hosts per subnet and subnets for the network shown in the diagram, which showed three areas only for subnetting.. So the very FIRST subnet you can use, is the /26 which would give you the prerequisite 30 hosts (62 per subnet possible) and the prerequisite 4 subnets (4 subnets total). The only other option would be a 27 bit mask, which is next in line. That would also give you up to 30 hosts per subnet (30 total per subnet possible) but leaves you no room to add any hosts in the future. It also creates 8 subnets, and since you only need 3, 1 for LAN 1, 1 for LAN 2 and one for the serial interfaces on the routers, then naturally you'd want to choose the 1 that used the least subnets, and creates the most hosts. So that was the correct answer for the question they asked. If they had said they want NO MORE than 30 hosts and wanted MORE than 4 subnets, then you could have chosen the 27 bit mask. You'd be wasting subnets (which makes no sense) and capping your hosts but it would still work. If you want to try that then here is the breakdown on the NEXT (and only other) subnet possible for the question parameters. If you SKIP over the FIRST usable subnet, then the next and ONLYother subnet that you could use to accomplish their goal of 30 hosts, and at least 3 subnets is the 27 bit mask. here's the breakdown for that one too, just in case you need it or want to study it.

1. How many subnets are needed for this network? 3 2. What is the subnet mask for this network in dotted decimal format? 255.255.255.224 3. What is the subnet mask for the network in slash format? /27 4. How many usable hosts are there per subnet? 30 Step 3. Assign subnetwork addresses to the Topology Diagram.

1. Assign second subnet to the network attached to R1. Network = 192.168.1.32/27 2. Assign third subnet to the link between R1 and R2. Network = 192.168.1.64/27 3. Assign fourth subnet to the network attached to R2. Network = 192.168.1.96/27 At the end of this task your completion rate should be 0%. Task 2: Determine Interface Addresses. Step 1: Assign appropriate addresses to the device interfaces. 1. Assign the first valid host address in second subnet to the LAN interface on R1. 192.168.1.33 2. Assign the last valid host address in second subnet to PC1. 192.168.1.62

3. Assign the first valid host address in third subnet to the WAN interface on R1. 192.168.1.65 4. Assign the last valid host address in third subnet to the WAN interface on R2. 192.168.1.94 5. Assign the first valid host address in fourth subnet to the LAN interface of R2. 192.168.1.97 6. Assign the last valid host address in fourth subnet to PC2. 192.168.1.126 The router configs are the same just replace with these IPs. Now, you can TRY this subnet. It is the ONLY other one that would work, BUT, since they said "THE FOURTH SUBNET" in the question, AND since you will normally use the FIRST available subnet, and the one that provides the MOST hosts needed, the first subnet would be correct. I'd argue with the teacher because the answers I gave you were 100 percent right and I challenge anyone to show otherwise, including your teacher. But that being said I am guessing you probably just entered the IP information in wrong, most likley adding the /26 to the end of the address and confused their simulator. But maybe they cancelled the lab because they realized that they had left TWO potential subnets to choose from, without offering any defining variable in the question to tell you which one of the two to pick. And of course without any defining variable to select one of the two, you'd naturally choose the FIRST one, that offered the most room for growth. Anyway good luck. Subnettings easy and I can help with any of it. I've been designing and building WAN\LAN networks for well over a decade for both large telecommunications firms and the federal government, so I can set you straight on anything subnet or IP related. Let me know if you need me to clarify ANY of this, or explain any of it to your teacher, lol.

I'll be happy to, because that IS the right answer. RRRoute Ranger40431.1956592245
