Objectives
• Part 1: Design an IPv4 Network Subnetting Scheme
• Part 2: Configure the Devices
• Part 3: Test and Troubleshoot the Network
Background / Scenario
• In this activity, you will subnet the Customer network into multiple
subnets. The subnet scheme should be based on the number of host
computers required in each subnet, as well as other network
considerations, like future network host expansion.
• After you have created a subnetting scheme and completed the table by
filling in the missing host and interface IP addresses, you will configure
the host PCs, switches and router interfaces.
• After the network devices and host PCs have been configured, you will
use the ping command to test for network connectivity.
Instructions
a. The first subnet is the LAN-A network. You need a minimum of 50 host
IP addresses.
c. You also need at least two additional unused subnets for future network
expansion.
Note: Variable length subnet masks will not be used. All of the device
subnet masks should be the same length.
d. Answer the following questions to help create a subnetting scheme that
meets the stated network requirements:
How many host addresses are needed in the largest required subnet?
50
e. The subnet mask is made up of two portions, the network portion, and
the host portion. This is represented in the binary by the ones and the
zeros in the subnet mask.
f. To subnet a network, bits from the host portion of the original network
mask are changed into subnet bits. The number of subnet bits defines
the number of subnets.
Hint: Remember that the number of host bits (to the power of 2) defines
the number of hosts per subnet (minus 2), and the number of subnet
bits (to the power of two) defines the number of subnets. The subnet
bits (shown in bold) are the bits that have been borrowed beyond the
original network mask of /24. The /24 is the prefix notation and
corresponds to a dotted decimal mask of 255.255.255.0.
1. (/25) 11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000
2. (/26) 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000
3. (/27) 11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000
4. (/28) 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000
Dotted decimal subnet mask equivalent:
255.255.255.240
5. (/29) 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000
6. (/30) 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100
2. Use the second host address for the LAN-A switch. Make sure to
assign a default gateway address for the switch.
3. Use the last host address for PC-A. Make sure to assign a default
gateway address for the PC.
b. Assign the second subnet to LAN-B.
2. Use the second host address for the LAN-B switch. Make sure to
assign a default gateway address for the switch.
3. Use the last host address for PC-B. Make sure to assign a default
gateway address for the PC.
d. Configure the G0/0 and G0/1 interfaces with IP addresses and subnet
masks, and then enable them.
e. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
If you answered “no” to any of the preceding questions, then you should
go back and check your IP address and subnet mask configurations,
and ensure that the default gateways have been correctly configured on
PC-A and PC-B.
