1: Review of Concepts from Exploration 1

Topology Diagram

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:
● Create a logical topology given network requirements

● Create subnets to meet host requirements

● Configure the physical topology

● Configure the logical topology

● Verify network connectivity

● Configure and verify passwords

Scenario
In this lab, you will design and configure a small routed network and verify connectivity across
multiple network devices. This requires creating and assigning two subnetwork blocks, connecting
hosts and network devices, and configuring host computers and one Cisco router for basic network
connectivity. Switch1 has a default configuration and does not require additional configuration. You
will use common commands to test and document the network. The zero subnet is used.

Task 1: Design a Logical LAN Topology

Step 1: Design an IP addressing scheme.


Given the IP address block of 192.168.7.0 /24, design an IP addressing scheme that satisfies the
following requirements:

Subnet Number of Hosts


Subnet A 110
Subnet B 54
The 0 subnet is used. No subnet calculators may be used. Create the smallest possible subnets that
satisfy the requirements for hosts. Assign the first usable subnet to Subnet A.

Subnet A
Specification Student Input
Number of bits in the subnet 1
IP mask (binary) 11000000.10101000.00000111.00000000
New IP mask (decimal) 192.168.7.0/25
Maximum number of usable 2
subnets (including the 0 subnet)
Number of usable hosts per 126
subnet
IP subnetwork address 255.255.255.128
First IP host address 192,168.7.1
Last IP host address 192.168.7.126

Subnet B
Specification Student Input
Number of bits in the subnet 2
IP mask (binary) 11000000.10101000.00000111.10000000
New IP mask (decimal) 192.168.7.128/26
Maximum number of usable subnets 4
(including the 0 subnet)
Number of usable hosts per subnet 62
IP network address 255.255.255.192
First IP host address 192.168.7.128
Last IP host address 192.168.7.190

Host computers will use the first usable IP address in the subnet. The network router will use the last
usable IP address in the subnet.

Step 2: Write down the IP address information for each device.

Device IP address Mask Gateway


Host1 192.168.7.2 255.255.255.12 192.168.7.1
8
Router1-Fa0/0 192.168.7.3 255.255.255.12 192.168.7.1
8
Host2 192.168.7.130 255.255.255.19 192.168.7.129

In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box for each host, enter the IP address, network mask, and
the gateway from Table 1.

After configuring each host computer, open a command window on the host by selecting
Start > Run. When prompted to type the name of a program, enter cmd in the text box. From
the command window, display and verify the host network settings with the ipconfig /all
command. The settings should match those in the tables below:

Host1 Network Configuration


IP address 192.168.7.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.128
Default gateway 192.168.7.126

Host2 Network Configuration


IP address 192.168.7.129
Subnet mask 255.255.255.192
Default gateway 192.168.7.190

Are the host settings in agreement with the tables? ___________ If not, reconfigure as necessary.

Step 2: Configure Router1.


From Host1, connect to the console of Router 1 and establish a console session. Directions for
creating a console connection using HyperTerminal are in Appendix 2.

Task 4: Verify Network Connectivity

Step 1: Use the ping command to verify network connectivity.


You can verify network connectivity using the ping command.
Note: If pings to the host computers fail, temporarily disable the computer firewall and retest. To
disable a Windows firewall, select Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall, select OFF, and then
OK.
Use the following table to verify connectivity with each network device. Take corrective action to
establish connectivity if a test fails.

Host2 Router1, Fa0/0 192.168.7.126


Host2 Host1 192.168.7.1

In addition to the ping command, what other Windows command is useful in displaying network delay
and breaks in the path to the destination?_________________________________

Task 5: Verify Passwords

Step 1: Telnet to the router from Host2 and verify the Telnet password.
You should be able to telnet to either Fast Ethernet interface of the router.
In a command window on Host 2, type:
telnet 192.168.7.190
When you are prompted for the Telnet password, type cisco and press Enter.
Was the telnet successful? ______________

Step 2: Verify that the enable secret password has been set.
From the Telnet session, enter privilege exec mode and verify it is password protected:
Router>enable
Were you prompted for the enable secret password? ___________

Step 3: Verify that the console is password protected.


Terminate and then re-establish the console connection from Host1 to the router to verify that the
console is password protected.
Depending on the Telnet client that you are using, the session can usually be terminated with Ctrl-].
When the session is re-established, you should be prompted for the console password before being
allowed access to the command line interface.

Task 6: Reflection
How are Telnet access and console access different? When might it make sense to set different
passwords on these two access ports? _ Yes,it is. The Telnet access used a connection through
computer while the console access, you
can connect physical to the router or switch.____________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
Why does the switch between Host2 and the router not require configuration with an IP address to
forward packets? ________ The connection goes through the switch, and it needs to have a direction
connection to the
router._______________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________

Task 7: Clean Up
Unless directed otherwise by your instructor, erase the configurations and reload the switches.
Disconnect and store the cabling. For PC hosts that are normally connected to other networks (such
