connected.
Step 3: Configure and verify basic switch settings on all switches.
 Console into the switch and enter the global configuration mode:
o Assign the switch with a name according to the addressing table.
o Disable unwanted DNS lookup.
o Enter a login MOTD banner to warn about illegal access.
o Save the configuration.

Step 4: Configure and verify basic router settings on all routers.

 Console into the router and enter the global configuration mode:
o Assign the router with a name according to the addressing table.
o Disable unwanted DNS lookup.
o Enter a login MOTD banner to warn about illegal access.
o Save the configuration.

Instructions:
In this activity, the main/major network address given to you is 172.21.Pod#+IPN.0/24,
(IPN is Instructor Provided Number from the range of 1 to 100). You are required to
subnet and provide the IP addressing for all the networks (LANs and site-to-site WANs
shown in the topology). The required host addresses for each WAN and LAN link are
also mentioned in the topology.
Part 1: IP Address Scheme – Designing:
Step 1: The given main/major network address 172.21.Pod#+IPN.0/24 (IPN is Instructor
Provided Number from the range of 1 to 100) must be divided into multiple subnets
based on the requirements. It is imperative to always start subnetting based on the
maximum number of host requirements in any subnet. The required number of hosts for
each network is mentioned in the topology diagram.
Answer the following questions:
1. How many subnets are required based on the given topology diagram?
5
2. What are the recommended number of bits to be borrowed from the host portion
to satisfy the maximum number of hosts required in any subnet in the topology?
6 bits
3. How many host bits are remaining after the bits are borrowed to network portion
for subnets creation?
6 bits
4. What is the formula to calculate the number of hosts based on remaining host
bits?
Note: If your answer is less than the 35 maximum hosts required for the LAN-C,
then you have borrowed too many bits from the host portion.
62 hosts
5. Calculate all the five subnets below by keeping the last octet as binary. The first
subnet (subnet zero) is shown below:
Subnet 0: 172 . 21 . 6. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Subnet 1: 172 . 21 . 6. _0___1 ____0 ___0_ ___0_ __0__ 0____ 0 ____
Subnet 2: 172 . 21 . 6. _1___0 ____0 ___0_ ___0_ __0__ 0____ 0 ____ ____
Subnet 3: 172 . 21 . 6. _1___ 1 ____0 ___0_ ___0_ __0__ 0____ 0 ____ ____
Subnet 4: 172 . 21 . 7. _0___ 0 ____0 ___0_ ___0_ __0__ 0____ 0 ____ ____

 6. What is the new prefix/subnet mask for the first subnet (subnet 0)? Express the
new subnet mask in decimal and binary.
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 . _1_ _1_ _0_0 0 _0_ 0 _0_ __

7. Complete the following subnet details table.

Subnet Network Subnet mask / First Valid Host Last Valid Host Broadcast
# Address Prefix IP Address IP Address Address
0 172.21.6.0 255.255.255.192 /26 172.21.6.1 172.21.6.62 172.21.6.63

Step 2: Assign the subnets to the network shown in the topology.

When assigning the subnets, keep in mind that routing is necessary to allow information
to be sent throughout the network. You may use RIP routing protocol in the entire
network topology.
a. Assign Subnet 0 to the LAN-C.
Network addeess 172.21.6.0/26
Usable ip range 172.21.6.1 to 172.21.6.126
Broadcast address 172.21.6.63
b. Assign Subnet 1 to the LAN-A.
Network addeess 172.21.6.64/26
Usable ip range 172.21.6.65 to 172.21.6.126
Broadcast address 172.21.6.127

c. Assign Subnet 2 to the LAN-B.

Network addeess 172.21.6.128/26
Usable ip range 172.21.6.129 to 172.21.6.190
Broadcast address 172.21.6.191

d. Assign Subnet 3 to the WAN-12.

Network addeess 172.21.6.192/26
Usable ip range 172.21.6.193 to 172.21.6.254
Broadcast address 172.21.6.255

 e. Assign Subnet 4 to the WAN-23.
Network addeess 172.21.7.0/26
Usable ip range 172.21.7.1 to 172.21.7.62
Broadcast address 172.21.7.63

Step 3: Document the addressing scheme.

Complete the Addressing Table above using the following guidelines:
a) Allocate the first valid IP address to routers for each of the LAN links.
b) Allocate the second valid IP address to switches SVI for each of the LAN.
c) For the WAN link between R1 and R2, allocate the first valid IP address to R1
and last valid IP address R2.
d) For the WAN link between R2 and R3, allocate the first valid IP address to R2
and the last valid IP address to R3.
e) Allocate the second last valid IP address to the hosts.

Part 2: IP Address Scheme – Implementation:
Assign IP Addresses to all end devices and intermediary network devices. After the
assignment of IP addresses, verify connectivity between all devices. If there are any
connectivity issues, perform troubleshooting. It is imperative to check and verify the RIP
routing is implemented appropriately on all the routers.
Implement the following steps to complete the IP addressing configuration.
Step 1: Configure IP addressing on all routers R1, R2, R3 LAN, and WAN interfaces,
and activate the interfaces.
Step 2: Configure IP addressing on SVI interfaces of all switches S1, S2, and S3
including the appropriate default gateway.
Step 3: Configure IP addressing on PC-1, PC-2, and PC-3 including the appropriate
default gateway.
Step 4: Verify connectivity.
You should be able to ping every IP address listed in the Addressing Table above.
Step 5: Configure dynamic routing (RIPv2) on all routers.
 Enter into RIP routing mode at (in the case of R1/R2/R3)
o enable
o config terminal
o router rip
 Configure the following:
o Enable RIP version 2.
 version 2
o Disable auto-summarization.
 no auto-summary
o Do not advertise RIP routes to LANs.
 passive-interface g0/0/1 (or as the case may be)
o Advertise all directly connected networks on each router.
o Save the configuration.
 end
 copy running-config startup-config
NOTE: Repeat Step 5 above for all the routers. While doing that, make sure to advertise
only directly connected networks at each router.
Step 6: Verify network connectivity.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of PC-B.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of PC-C.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of SVI int. of switch S1.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of G0/0/1 of router R1.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of S0/1/0 of router R1.

  Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of S0/1/0 of router R2.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of S0/1/1 of router R2.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of G0/0/1 of router R2.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of SVI int. of switch S2.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of S0/1/1 of router R3.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of G0/0/1 of router R3.
 Using the command line at PC-1, ping the IP address of SVI int. of switch S3.

NOTE: Use PC-2 and PC-3 to do all the above-mentioned pings. All the pings must be
successful, otherwise troubleshooting must be done if any connectivity issues are
found.
