P Part 1: Design D a Network N Subnetting Schem me

S Step 1: Cre eate a subn netting sche eme that me eets the req quired numb ber of subn nets and req quired number of hos st addresse es.
In this sce enario, you ar re a network administrator a for a small su ubdivision wit thin a larger c company. You u must create mu ultiple subnets s out of the 19 92.168.0.0/24 4 network add dress space t to meet the fo ollowing requirements: The first subnet is the employee e network. Yo ou need a min nimum of 25 h host IP addresses. The second s subne et is the admin nistration netw work. You nee ed a minimum m of 10 IP add dresses. The th hird and fourt th subnets are e reserved as s virtual netwo orks on virtua al router interf faces, loopbac ck 0 and loopback 1. These virtual router r interfaces simulate LANs s attached to R R1. You also a need two o additional un nused subnet ts for future ne etwork expan nsion.

Note: Var riable length subnet s masks s will not be used. All of the e device subn net masks wil ll be the same e length. Answer th he following questions to help create a subnetting s sc heme that me eets the state ed network requireme ents: 1) How H many hos st addresses are needed in n the largest r required subn net? 2) What W is the minimum number of subnets s required?

Lab - Designing and Implementing a Subnetted IPv4 Addressing Scheme 3) The network that you are tasked to subnet is 192.168.0.0/24. What is the /24 subnet mask in binary?

4) 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. In the network mask, what do the ones represent? In the network mask, what do the zeros represent? 5) 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. Given each of the possible subnet masks depicted in the following binary format, how many subnets and how many hosts are created in each example? 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 (depicted in bold type face) are the bits that have been borrowed beyond the original network mask of /24. The /24 is the slash prefix notation and corresponds to a dotted decimal mask of 255.255.255.0.

P Part 2: Configure C e the Devices

In Part 2, set up the ne etwork topolog gy and configure basic set ttings on the P PCs and route er, such as th he router Gigabit Et thernet interfa ace IP addres sses, and the PCs IP addr resses, subne et masks, and d default gate eways. Refer to th he Addressing Table for de evice names and address information. Note: App pendix A prov vides configur ration details for the steps in Part 2. You u should attem mpt to comple ete Part 2 prior to re eviewing Appe endix A.

S Step 1: Co onfigure the e router.

a. Enter into privilege ed EXEC mod de and then global config m mode. b. Assign the R1 as the hostname for the router. c. Config gure both the e G0/0 and G0 0/1 interfaces s with IP addre esses and su ubnet masks, and then ena able them.

d. Loopb back interface es are created d to simulate additional LA ANs on R1 rou uter. Configur re the loopbac ck interfa aces with IP addresses a and subnet mas sks. After they y are created d, loopback int terfaces are e enabled, by default. (To crea ate the loopback addresse es, enter the c command inte erface loopb back 0 at the global config g mode) Note: You can create additional loopbacks fo or testing with h different add dressing sche emes, if desir red. e. Save the running configuration c to t the startup p configuration n file.

S Step 2: Co onfigure the e PC interfac ces.

a. Config gure the IP ad ddress, subne et mask, and default gatew way settings o on PC-A. b. Config gure the IP ad ddress, subne et mask, and default gatew way settings o on PC-B.

P Part 3: Test T and Troubles T hoot the Network

In Part 3, you will use the t ping command to test network conn nectivity. C-A, open a c a. Test to t see if PC-A A can communicate with its s default gate eway. From PC command pro ompt and ping the t IP address s of the route er Gigabit Ethe ernet 0/1 inte erface. Do you u get a reply? ? b. Test to t see if PC-B B can communicate with its s default gate eway. From PC C-B, open a c command pro ompt and ping the t IP address s of the route er Gigabit Ethe ernet 0/0 inte erface. Do you u get a reply? ? c. Test to t see if PC-A A can communicate with PC C-B. From PC C-A, open a c command pro ompt and ping g the IP addre ess of PC-B. Do D you get a reply?

d. If you answered no to any of th he preceding questions, th hen you should go back an nd check all o of your IP addre ess and subne et mask config gurations, and ensure that t the default g gateways hav ve been correctly config gured on PC-A A and PC-B. e. If you verify that all of the setting gs are correct, and you ca an still not ping g successfully y, then there are a few additional factors that can block k ICMP pings. . On PC-A an nd PC-B within n Windows, m make sure tha at the Windo ows Firewall is i turned off fo or the Work, Home, and P Public network ks. f. Exper riment by purposely misconfiguring the gateway add ress on PC-A A to 10.0.0.1. What happen ns when you tr ry and ping fro om PC-B to PC-A? P Do you u receive a re eply?

Reflection
1. Subnetting one larger network into multiple smaller subnetworks allows for greater flexibility and security in network design. However, what do you think some of the drawbacks are when the subnets are limited to being the same size?

2. Why do you think the gateway/router IP address is usually the first usable IP address in the network?

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
