4050-515/4055-815 Lab 6 Advanced Routing Techniques

In this lab you will be building an entire network by yourselves. The network will be comprised of nine routers and will include serial and Ethernet links. Any device not labeled as a router or PC is a switch. You will need to provide the appropriate IP subnet addressing scheme and the appropriate addressing. You may not use VLSM. Activity #1 Network Design and Address Assignment. 1) Given the attached diagram and the network address of 192.168.100.0, determine the following; i. The number of subnets required ii. The subnet addressing scheme needed to support the hosts and the routers iii. Static/default routes needed to implement the entire topology iv. Which version of RIP you will use for the second phase a) Total # of subnets made ______________________ b) Mask ______________________

c) Total addresses/subnet ______________________ d) Useable subnets e) Useable hosts/subnet ______________________ ______________________

2) Provide your subnet addressing scheme below. Make sure you type this up for your report. Record all (INCLDUING THE SUBNETS YOU DID NOT USE) of your subnet addressing information (use as many lines as you need)

3) Label the diagram of the network topology provided at the end of the lab with the IP addresses for all hosts and router interfaces.

Activity #2 Wiring the Network and Configuring the Routers 1) Wire the topology according to the diagram. 2) Note that several of the links are serial connections. Activity #3 Configuring the Routers static/default routes only 1) Configure your routers with the appropriate IP addresses and masks. 2) You will have four serial links. You may use the default encapsulation. What is it? Where, in the IOS, did you locate the information? 3) One end of each serial link is a DCE. The other is the DTE end. On the DCE end, configure the clock rate for 56000. 4) Configure your network using only static and default routes on the nine routers and default gateways on the hosts. You should use the minimum number needed to establish complete network connectivity. All hosts should be able to ping each other when you are done. Document all the static routes and default routes you used. You can do this by saving images of all your router routing tables at this point. Demonstrate full network connectivity to your instructor and get a sign off. 5) Collect the information necessary to answer the following questions: a) What is the default encapsulation used on the WAN serial links? Where did you find the information? b) For R1, R3 and R4 provide the routing table. Explain why you configured the routers in this fashion. Activity #4 Reconfigure your network to include RIP Typically default routes are best used where there is only one direction to get out. A good example here is the set of bottom routers. Static routes are used where changes do not occur often, large address space allocations, highly resilient links or in small networks.

1) Now remove the static routes and any default gateways from routers and install your routing protocol. One rule R1 and R2 are not allowed to run any routing protocol. 2) Your network is now configured with a combination of static/default AND learned routes. Correct? Is there a problem you can see? 3) Be prepared to discuss the following: a. Given your topology and your subnet addressing scheme discuss address utilization on your network. Were the addresses well utilized or not? Explain your answer. Without using VLSM everywhere is there a better way you could have assigned the addresses?
