Scenario
In this lab, you have been given the network address 192.168.9.0/24 to subnet and provide the IP
addressing for the network shown in the Topology Diagram. The network has the following addressing
requirements:
The BRANCH1 LAN 1 will require 10 host IP addresses.
The BRANCH1 LAN 2 will require 10 host IP addresses.
The BRANCH2 LAN 1 will require 10 host IP addresses.
The BRANCH2 LAN 2 will require 10 host IP addresses.
The HQ LAN will require 20 host IP addresses.
The link from HQ to BRANCH1 will require an IP address for each end of the link.
The link from HQ to BRANCH2 will require an IP address for each end of the link.
(Note: Remember that the interfaces of network devices are also host IP addresses and are included
in the above addressing requirements.)

Task 1: Examine the Network Requirements.

Examine the network requirements and answer the questions below. Keep in mind that IP addresses will
be needed for each of the LAN interfaces.
How many subnets are needed? 7
What is the maximum number of IP addresses that are needed for a single subnet? 20
How many IP addresses are needed for each of the branch LANs? 10
What is the total number of IP addresses that are needed? 64

Task 2: Design an IP Addressing Scheme.

Step 1: Subnet the 192.168.9.0 network into the appropriate number of subnets.
What will the subnet mask be for the subnetworks? 255.255.255.224
How many usable host IP addresses are there per subnet? 30
Fill in the following chart with the subnet information.

7 192.168.9.224 192.168.9.225 192.168.9.254 192.168.9.255

Step 2: Assign the subnets to the network shown in the Topology Diagram.
When assigning the subnets, keep in mind that routing will need to occur to allow information to be sent
throughout the network. The subnets will be assigned to the networks to allow for route summarization on
each of the routers.
1. Assign first subnet (lowest subnet) to the LAN connected to the Fa0/1 interface of BRANCH2.
What is the subnet address? 192.168.9.0/27
2. Assign second subnet to LAN connected to the Fa0/0 interface of BRANCH2. What is the subnet
address? 192.168.9.32/27
3. Assign third subnet to LAN connected to the Fa0/0 interface of BRANCH1. What is the subnet
address? 192.168.9.64/27
4. Assign fourth subnet to LAN connected to the Fa0/1 interface of BRANCH1. What is the subnet
address? 192.168.9.96/27
5. Assign fifth subnet to the WAN link from HQ to BRANCH1. What is the subnet address?
192.168.9.128/27
6. Assign sixth subnet to the WAN link from HQ to BRANCH2. 192.168.160/27
7. Assign seventh subnet to LAN connected to the Fa0/1 interface of HQ. What is the subnet
address? 192.168.9.192/27
Note: The highest subnet will not be required in this topology.

Task 3: Assign IP Addresses to the Network Devices

Assign the appropriate addresses to the device interfaces. Document the addresses to be used in the
Addressing Table provided under the Topology Diagram.

Step 1: Assign addresses to the HQ router.

1. Assign the first valid host address in the HQ LAN subnet to the LAN interface.
2. Assign the first valid host address in link from HQ to BRANCH1 subnet to the S0/0/0 interface.
3. Assign the first valid host address in link from HQ to BRANCH2 subnet to the S0/0/1 interface.

Step 2: Assign addresses to the BRANCH1 router.

1. Assign the first valid host address in the BRANCH1 LAN 1 subnet to the Fa0/0 LAN interface.
2. Assign the first valid host address in the BRANCH1 LAN 2 subnet to the Fa0/1 LAN interface.
3. Assign the last valid host address in link from HQ to BRANCH1 subnet to the WAN interface.

Step 3: Assign addresses to the BRANCH2 router.

1. Assign the first valid host address in the BRANCH2 LAN 1 subnet to the Fa0/0 LAN interface.
2. Assign the first valid host address in the BRANCH2 LAN 2 subnet to the Fa0/1 LAN interface.
 3. Assign the last valid host address in link from HQ to BRANCH2 subnet to the WAN interface.

Step 4: Assign addresses to the host PCs.

1. Assign the last valid host address in the HQ LAN subnet to PC1.

Task 4: Test the Network Design.

Apply your addressing scheme. Check to see that all devices on directly connected networks can ping
each other.

Ip route 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 Serial0/0
Can both of the BRANCH1 LANs be summarized into one route on the HQ router? S
What would be the command used to add this summary route to the routing table?
