Tasks
Your organization is allocated a block of address 10.X.48.0/23. You are required to plan the
subnets and IP addressing based on the following address allocation requirement for each subnet
as shown in Figure 1.

• The ADMIN LAN requires i3 addresses.

• The CE LAN requires j3 addresses.
• The EE LAN requires 60 addresses.
• The HR LAN requires 16 addresses.
• The IT LAN requires k3 addresses.
• Each link segment between two routers requires 2 addresses.

Figure 1

Note:
• X denotes the last two digits of your student ID.
• i denotes the third last digit of your student ID. If the digit is “0”, it is replaced with “10”.
• j denotes the second last digit of your student ID. If the digit is “0”, it is replaced with “10”.
• k denotes the last digit of your student ID. If the digit is “0”, it is replaced with “10”.
• Example 1: If your student ID is DMT2209234, the address block that you use in this
assignment is 10.34.48.0/23. The ADMIN LAN requires 23 addresses. The CE LAN
requires 33 addresses. The IT LAN requires 43 addresses.
• Example 2: If your student ID is SWE2209100, the address block that you use in this
assignment is 10.0.48.0/23. The ADMIN LAN requires 13 addresses. The CE LAN
requires 103 addresses. The IT LAN requires 103 addresses.

Complete the following tasks.

Task 1. Subnet Planning and Router Configuration

1. Perform subnet planning for your organisation’s network.

Ø Show your work of subnet planning.

Ø List the following address information for each subnet in Table 1:

• Network address
• Usable IP address range
• Broadcast address
• Decimal / CIDR Subnet mask

Table 1
First Last Decimal CIDR

2. Table 2 is used for your configuration plan.

Ø Fill in the IP address and subnet mask for each of the PC and router’s interface.

3. Connect each device as shown in Figure 1.

• Select the “S5700” switch in eNSP.
• Select the “Router” router in eNSP.
• Use the “Copper” cable to connect all the devices together according to the topology.

Ø Take a screenshot of your network topology.

4. Rename the three routers. You should configure it with your student ID followed by the device
name as shown in Figure 1. For example, rename the router R1 as “DMT1234567-R1” if your
student ID is DMT1234567.

Ø Take a screenshot of your configuration on router R1. A sample is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2
5. Configure IP addresses and subnet masks on routers R1, R2, and R3 based on the results that
you have obtained in Table 2.

Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R1.
Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R2.
Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R3.

6. Configure all the PCs based on the results that you have obtained in Table 2.

Ø Take screenshots of your configuration on all the PCs.

Task 2: Static and Dynamic Routes Configuration

1. Configure static routing on routers R1, R2, and R3 so that hosts on different network segments
can communicate with each other.

Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R1.
Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R2.
Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R3.

2. Verify the configuration by checking the routing table on each router.

Ø Take a screenshot of the routing table on router R1.

Ø Take a screenshot of the routing table on router R2.
Ø Take a screenshot of the routing table on router R3.

3. Use the ping command to verify the connectivity between the PCs.

4. Right-click the link between R1 and R2 and select “Remove Connection”. This will remove
the link between R1 and R2 as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3

5. Can PC2 ping to PC3?

Ø If yes, explain the reason with the appropriate screenshots of your configurations.
Ø If no, show the appropriate configurations so that PC2 can ping to PC3.
6. Enter the “save” command to save the current configuration of router R1, R2, and R3
respectively.

7. Save your work in eNSP by clicking on the “Save As” icon on the top left of eNSP’s menu bar.

8. In the following steps, we will configure dynamic routing on the routers. Save your eNSP file
to another file name by clicking on the “Save As” icon on the top left of eNSP’s menu bar.

9. Remove ALL the previous static route entries in ALL routers, by running the following
command on router R1, R2, and R3 respectively.

undo ip route-static all

10. Check the routing table on each switch to verify that static route information has been removed.

11. Configure RIP version 2 on each router.

Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R1.
Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R2.
Ø Take a screenshot of the commands that you have entered to configure router R3.

12. Verify the configuration by checking the routing table on each router.

Ø Take a screenshot of the routing table on router R1.

Ø Take a screenshot of the routing table on router R2.
Ø Take a screenshot of the routing table on router R3.

13. Use the ping command to verify the connectivity between the PCs.

Ø Take screenshots of the ping results.

14. Enter the tracert command to trace the route from PC2 to PC3.

Ø Take a screenshot of the traceroute result.

15. Reconnect the link between R1 and R2 as shown in Figure 5. (Note: Wait for a while before
proceeding to Step 16.)

Figure 5
16. Enter the tracert command again to trace the route from PC2 to PC3.

Ø Take a screenshot of the traceroute result.

17. Check the routing table on R1 and R2 to observe the changes of the RIP route information.

Ø Take a screenshot of the routing table on router R1.

Ø Take a screenshot of the routing table on router R2.

18. What are the changes?

Ø Discuss your observation in Step 12, 14, 16, and 17.

19. Enter the “save” command to save the current configuration of router R1, R2, and R3
respectively.

20. Save your work in eNSP by clicking on the “Save As” icon on the top left of eNSP’s menu bar.
