CCNAv7 ITN Skills Assessment

Topology

Assessment Objectives
Part 1: Develop an IP Addressing Scheme (20 points, 25 minutes)
Part 2: Initialize and Reload Devices (10 points, 20 minutes)
Part 3: Configure Device IP address and Security Settings (45 points, 35 minutes)
Part 4: Test and Verify IPv4 and IPv6 End-to-End Connectivity (15 points, 20 minutes)
Part 5: Use the IOS CLI to Gather Device Information (10 points, 10 minutes)

Scenario
In this Skills Assessment (SA) you will configure the devices in a small network. You must configure a router,
switch and PCs to support both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity. You will configure security, including SSH, on the
router. In addition, you will test and document the network using common CLI commands.

Required Resources
 1 Router (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
 1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
 2 PCs (Windows with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)

 Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
 Ethernet cables as shown in the topology

Instructions

Part 1: Develop an IP Addressing Scheme

Total points: 20
Time: 25 minutes
a. Your instructor will assign one of the IPv4 networks from the table below. You will subnet it to provide IP
addresses to two subnets that will support the required number of hosts. No subnet calculators may be
used. All work must be shown using the IP Addressing worksheet below.

(i) subnet A is hosted on R1 G0/0/1
(ii) subnet B is hosted on R1 G0/0/0
2) Assign the last IPv4 address of each subnet to the PC NIC
3) Assign the second IPv4 address of subnet A to S1
4) List the maximum number of useable hosts per subnet

NOTE: DO NOT PROCEED WITH CLEANUP UNTIL YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS GRADED YOUR SKILLS
EXAM AND HAS INFORMED YOU THAT YOU MAY BEGIN CLEANUP.
Unless directed otherwise by the instructor, restore host computer network connectivity, and then turn off
power to the host computers.
Before turning off power to the router and switch, remove the NVRAM configuration files (if saved) from both
devices.
Disconnect and neatly put away all LAN cables that were used in the Final.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example
of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in
Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
