EXPERIMENT / PRACTICAL – 7

7. Develop different local area networks using Cisco Packet Tracer /GNS3. Connect
two or more Local area networks. Explore various sub-netting options.

AIM: Connect two or more Local area networks and explore various sub-netting options.
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate Connecting two or more LAN and exploring various
subnetting options.
ALGORITHM:

1. Start
2. Setup the Topology and initialize devices
3. Configure LAN Devices and router with subnetting.
4. Display Device information
5. End
DESCRIPTION AND EXECUTION:
A subnet, or subnetwork, is a part of a larger network. Subnets are a logical part of an IP network
into multiple, smaller network components. When a bigger network is divided into smaller networks,
to maintain security, then that is known as Subnetting. So, maintenance is easier for smaller
networks.
Uses of Subnetting
1. Subnetting helps in organizing the network in an efficient way which helps in expanding
the technology for large firms and companies.
2. Subnetting is used for specific staffing structures to reduce traffic and maintain order and
efficiency.
3. Subnetting divides domains of the broadcast so that traffic is routed efficiently, which
helps in improving network performance.
4. Subnetting is used in increasing network security.

  Then, type ipconfig <IPv4 address><subnet mask><default gateway>(if needed)

Example: ipconfig 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

 Repeat the same procedure with other PCs to configure them thoroughly.

To assign an IP address in router0, click on router0.
 Then, go to config and then Interfaces.
 Then, configure the IP address in FastEthernet and serial ports according to IP addressing
Table.
 Fill IPv4 address and subnet mask.

 Repeat the same procedure with other routers to configure them thoroughly.

Step 4: After configuring all of the devices we need to assign the routes to the routers.
To assign static routes to the particular router:
 First, click on router0 then Go to CLI.
 Then type the commands and IP information given below.

CLI command : ip route <network id> <subnet mask><next hop>

Static Routes for Router0 are given below:

Router(config)#ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 11.0.0.2

Router(config)#ip route 11.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 11.0.0.2
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 11.0.0.2
Router(config)#ip route 12.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 11.0.0.2

Static Routes for Router1 are given below:
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 11.0.0.1
Router(config)#ip route 11.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 11.0.0.1
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 12.0.0.2
Router(config)#ip route 12.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 12.0.0.2

Static Routes for Router2 are given below:

Router(config)#ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 12.0.0.1

Router(config)#ip route 11.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 12.0.0.1
Router(config)#ip route 12.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 12.0.0.1
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 12.0.0.1

Step 5: Verifying the network by pinging the IP address of any PC. We will use the ping command
to do so.

 First, click on PC0 then Go to the command prompt

 Then type ping <IP address of targeted node>
 As we can see in the below image we are getting replies which means the connection is
working very fine

Example : ping 192.168.2.2

8. Basic Configuration of Static routing using GNS3 tool / Cisco Packet Tracer Tool.

AIM: Basic configuration of Static routing

OBJECTIVE:To demonstrate basic Static routing Configuration.

ALGORITHM:

1. Start
2. Setup the Topology and initialize devices
3. Configure Devices and verify Routing connectivity
4. Display Device information
5. End

DESCRIPTION AND EXECUTION:

Static routing is a routing protocol that helps to keep your network organized and to optimize routing
performance. It enables the router to assign a specific path to each network segment and to keep
track of network changes. This helps to improve network stability and continuity. This adds security
because a single administrator can only authorize routing to particular networks.
