• Background
• You have been asked to implement the standard lab topology, but with a new IP addressing
scheme. You will use many of the skills you have learned to this point in the course.

• Task 1: IP Subnet Planning

You have been given an IP address block of 192.168.23.0 /n=24. You must provide for existing networks
as well as future growth.

Subnet assignments are:

• 1st subnet, existing student LAN (off of router R2-Central), up to 60 hosts;

N=256, N1=64 n=24 Note:N = 2^(32-n)

N1 = 2^6

n1=n+log2 (N/Nsub)

Interface IP addresses:
• For the server, configure the second highest usable IP address on the existing ISP LAN subnet.

192.168.23.110
192.168.23.109 255.255.255.240

• For R1-ISP's Fa0/0 interface, configure the highest usable IP address on the existing ISP LAN
subnet

Fa0/0 192.168.23.110 255.255.255.240

• For R1-ISP's S0/0/0 interface, configure the highest usable address on the existing WAN
subnet.

S0/0/0 192.168.23.122 255.255.255.252

• For R2-Central's S0/0/0 interface, use the lowest usable address on the existing WAN
subnet.

S0/0/0 192.168.23.121 255.255.255.252

• For R2-Central's Fa0/0 interface, use the highest usable address on the existing student
LAN subnet.

Fa0/0 192.168.23.62 255.255.255.192

 • For hosts 1A and 1B, use the first 2 IP addresses (two lowest usable addresses) on the
existing student LAN subnet.

PC 1A NIC 192.168.23.1 255.255.255.192 192.168.23.62

PC 1B NIC 192.168.23.62
192.168.23.2 255.255.255.192 DNS
=192.168.23.109

Additional configurations:

• For PCs 1A and 1B, in addition to IP configuration, configure them to use DNS services.
• For the server, enable DNS services, use the domain name eagle-server.example.com, and
enable HTTP services.
• For R1-ISP router serial interface, you will need to set the clock rate (a timing mechanism
required on the DCE end of serial links) to 64000.
• No clock rate is needed on the DTE side, in this case R2-Central's serial interface.

Task 2: Finish Building the Network in Packet Tracer.

Add cables where missing.

• Connect a serial DCE cable to R1-ISP S0/0/0, with the other end to R2-Central S0/0/0.
• Connect PC 1A to the first FastEthernet port on switch S1-Central.
• Connect PC 1B to the second FastEthernet port on switch S1-Central.
• Connect interface Fa0/0 on router R2-Central to the highest FastEthernet port on switch S1-
Central.
• For all devices, make sure the power is on to the device and the interfaces.

Task 3: Configure the Network.

You will need to configure the server, both routers, and the two PCs. You will not need to configure the
switch nor do you need the IOS CLI to configure the routers. Part of the router configuration has already
been done for you: all you must do is configure the static routes and the interfaces via the GUI.

The static route on R1-ISP should point to the existing student LAN subnet via R2-Central's serial
interface IP address;

Network address : 192.168.23.0

Subnet mask : 255.255.255.192

Next hope : 192.168.23.121

the static route on R2-Central should be a default static route which points via R1-ISP's serial interface IP
address. These procedures were explained in the Chapter 5 Skills Integration Challenge.
Default static Network address: 0.0.0.0

Default Subnet mask 0.0.0.0

Next hope : 192.168.23.122

Task 4: Test the Network.

Use ping, trace, web traffic, and the Inspect tool. Trace packet flow in simulation mode, with
HTTP, DNS, TCP, UDP, and ICMP viewable, to test your understanding of how the network is
operating.
Reflection
Reflect upon how much you have learned so far! Practicing IP subnetting skills and networking
building, configuration and testing skills will serve you well throughout your networking course.
