Task 1: Fill Addressing Table

Task 2: Establish the Network

Cable a network similar to the one seen in Packet Tracer's Topology Diagram as the first

step.

Step 2: Set up the BRANCH, HQ, and ISP routers with the bare minimum of

administrative setup.

The third task is to activate and configure serial and ethernet addresses.

Step 1: Set up the ISP, BRANCH, and HQ routers.

Task 5: Setting up RIP Routing on the BRANCH Router

Before configuring RIP, which networks are already included in the BRANCH routing table?

enumerate the networks using the CIDR notation.

[Link]/23

[Link]/30
 13

What instructions must be entered in order to activate RIP version 2 and add these networks to

the routing updates?

Exist any router interfaces that don't require RIP updates to be sent? Yes

With what command may this interface's RIP updates be turned off?
 14

Task 6: Set up Static Routing and RIP on the HQ Router

Think about the kind of static routing required on the HQ.

What networks are shown in the routing table for the HQ? the networks that use CIDR

notation.

[Link]/30

[Link]/30

[Link]/25

To transmit all packets with destination addresses that are not in the routing table to the

ISP router, a static default route must be set up. What command is required to make this

happen? Use the proper exit interface on the command's HQ router.

HQ(config) #ip route 1 [Link] [Link] Serial0/0/

What instructions are necessary to activate RIP and add the LAN network to the routing

updates?

What instructions are necessary to activate RIP and add the LAN network to the routing

updates?

router rip

HQ(config)#router rip

HQ(config-router)#network [Link]

Exist any router interfaces that don't require RIP updates to be sent? Yes

What command is used on this interface to turn off RIP updates?

HQ(config-router)#passive-interface FastEthernet0/0

FastEthernet0/0 The BRANCH router must get the default route data from the HQ router in RIP

updates.
 15

What command does this configure?

HQ(config-router) #default-information originate

Task 7: Configure Static Routing on the ISP Router

All traffic that is intended for the RFC 1918 addresses used on the BRANCH LAN, HQ LAN,

and the link between the BRANCH and HQ routers must be configured with static routes on the

ISP router. What ISP router configuration commands must be made in order to achieve this?

ISP(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] Serial0/0/1

ISP(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] Serial0/0/1

Task 8: Verify the Configurations

Answer the following questions to verify that the network is operating as expected.

From PC2, is it possible to ping PC1? Yes

From PC2, is it possible to ping PC3? Yes

From PC1, is it possible to ping PC3? Yes

What routes are present in the routing table of the BRANCH router?

[Link]/23

[Link]/30

What is the gateway of last resort in the routing table of the BRANCH router?

[Link] to network [Link]

What routes are present in the routing table of the HQ router?

[Link]/23

[Link]/30

[Link]/25

[Link]/0
 16

What networks are present in the routing table of the ISP router?

[Link]/23

[Link]/30

[Link]/30

[Link]/24

What networks, including the metric, are present in the RIP updates sent from the HQ router?

Network [Link] metric 1

Network [Link] metric 1

What networks, including the metric, are present in the RIP updates sent from the BRANCH

router?

Network [Link] metric 1

Task 9: Reflection

If static routing were used instead of RIP on the BRANCH router, how many individual static

routes would be needed for hosts on the BRANCH LAN to communicate with all of the

networks in the Topology Diagram?

Task 10: Document the Router Configurations
