Scenario
In this Skills Based Assessment students will create a small network that requires connecting network
devices and configuring host computers and one Cisco router for basic network connectivity. Subnet A
and Subnet B are subnets that are currently needed. Subnet C and Subnet D are anticipated subnets,
not yet connected to the network. The 0th subnet will be used. Switch1 has a default configuration, and
does not require additional configuration. Common utility commands will be used to test and document
the network.

Task 1: Design the Logical LAN Topology.

Total points: 35
Time: 20 minutes.

Given an IP address and mask of 168.78.192.0 /21 (address / mask), design an IP

addressing scheme that satisfies the following requirements:

Subnet Number of Hosts

Subnet A 257
Subnet B 103
Subnet C 61
Subnet D 954

The 0th subnet is used. No subnet calculators may be used. All work must be shown on the reverse of
this Final.

Subnet D
Student Points

Number of bits in the subnet 22 (6 points)
IP mask (binary) 11111111.11111111.11111100.00000000
New IP mask (decimal) 255.255.252.0
Maximum number of usable 16
subnets (including the 0th subnet)
Number of usable hosts per 1022
subnet
IP Subnet 168.78.192.0 /22
First IP Host address 168.78.192.1
Last IP Host address 168.78.195.254

Host computers will use the first IP address in the subnet. The network router will use the LAST network
host address.

Write down the IP address information for each device:

Device IP address Mask Gateway Points

Host1 168.78.196.1 255.255.254.0 168.78.197.254 (11
Router1-Fa0/0 168.78.197.254 255.255.254.0 ------------- points)
Host2 168.78.198.1 255.255.255.12 168.78.198.126
8
Router1-Fa0/1 168.78.198.126 255.255.255.12 -------------

Before proceeding, verify your IP addresses with the instructor.

Step 1: Physically connect lab devices.

Figure 1. Cabling the network.

Cable the network devices as shown in Figure 1. If not already enabled, turn power on to all devices.

Step 2: Visually inspect network connections.

After cabling the network devices, take a moment to verify the connections.

Correct Cabling Points

LAN cable between Host1 and Router1 Fa0/0 (3 ¾ points)
LAN cable between Switch1 and Router1 Fa0/1 (3 ¾ points)
LAN cable between Switch1 and Host2 (3 ¾ points)
Console cable between Host1 and Router1 (3 ¾ points)

Task 4: Verify Network Connectivity.

Total points: 20
Time: 15 minutes.

Step 1: Use the ping command to verify network connectivity.

Network connectivity can be verified with the ping command.
**NOTE: If pings to host computers fail, temporarily disable the computer firewall and retest. To disable
a Windows firewall, select Start | Control Panel | Windows Firewall, select OFF, and OK.

Use the following table to methodically verify connectivity with each network device. Take corrective
action to establish connectivity if a test fails:

From To IP Address Ping results Points

Host1 NIC IP address 168.78.196.1 Ok (8 points)
Host1 Router1, Fa0/0 168.78.197.254 Ok
Host1 Router1, Fa0/1 168.78.198.126 Ok
Host1 Host2 168.78.198.1 Ok
Host2 NIC IP address 168.78.198.1 Ok (8 points)
Host2 Router1, Fa0/1 168.78.198.126 Ok
Host2 Router1, Fa0/0 168.78.197.254 Ok
Host2 Host1 168.78.196.1 Ok

In addition to the ping command, what other Windows command is useful in displaying network delay
and breaks in the path to the destination?
Answer: _______(4 points)

Instructor Sign-off Task 4: ______________________

Points: _________ of 20

Task 5: Cleanup

NOTE: DO NOT PROCEED WITH CLEANUP UNTIL YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS GRADED YOUR
SKILLS BASED FINAL AND HAS INFORMED YOU THAT YOU MAY BEGIN CLEANUP.

Unless directed otherwise by the instructor, restore host computer network connectivity, then turn off
power to the host computers.

Before turning off power to the router and switch, remove the NVRAM configuration file (if saved) from
Router1 with the privileged exec command erase startup-config.

Disconnect and neatly put away all LAN cables that were used in the Final.

Remove anything that was brought into the lab, and leave the room ready for the next class.
