1 Objectives:

The objectives of this lab are:

1. To design an IPv4 subnetting scheme for a given network.
2. To configure network devices (router, switches, and PCs) with appropriate IP addresses and
subnet masks.
3. To test and troubleshoot network connectivity using the ping command.

Part 1: Design an IPv4 Network Subnetting Scheme

1. Analyse the requirements:
o LAN-A requires at least 50 host IP addresses.
o LAN-B requires at least 40 host IP addresses.
o Two additional subnets are needed for future expansion.
2. Determine the subnet mask:
o The largest subnet requires 50 hosts, so a /26 subnet mask (255.255.255.192) is chosen,
providing 62 host addresses per subnet.
3. Divide the 192.168.0.0/24 network into four /26 subnets:
o Subnet 1: 192.168.0.0/26 (LAN-A)
o Subnet 2: 192.168.0.64/26 (LAN-B)
o Subnet 3: 192.168.0.128/26 (Future Expansion)
o Subnet 4: 192.168.0.192/26 (Future Expansion)

Part 2: Configure the Devices
1. Router Configuration:
o Configure interface G0/0/0 with IP address 192.168.0.1/26 for LAN-A.
o Configure interface G0/0/1 with IP address 192.168.0.65/26 for LAN-B.
o Enable the interfaces.
2. Switch Configuration:
o Assign IP address 192.168.0.2/26 to VLAN1 on the LAN-A switch.
o Assign IP address 192.168.0.66/26 to VLAN1 on the LAN-B switch.
o Set the default gateway for LAN-A switch to 192.168.0.1.
o Set the default gateway for LAN-B switch to 192.168.0.65.
3. PC Configuration:
o Assign IP address 192.168.0.10/26 to PC-A with a default gateway of 192.168.0.1.
o Assign IP address 192.168.0.70/26 to PC-B with a default gateway of 192.168.0.65.
Part 3: Test and Troubleshoot the Network
1. Use the ping command to test connectivity:
o From PC-A, ping PC-B (192.168.0.70).
o From PC-A, ping the router’s G0/0/0 interface (192.168.0.1).
o From PC-B, ping the router’s G0/0/1 interface (192.168.0.65).
2. Troubleshoot any connectivity issues by verifying IP configurations and ensuring all devices are
properly connected.

 Subnet 2: 192.168.0.64/26 (Hosts: 192.168.0.65 - 192.168.0.126)
 Subnet 3: 192.168.0.128/26 (Hosts: 192.168.0.129 - 192.168.0.190)
 Subnet 4: 192.168.0.192/26 (Hosts: 192.168.0.193 - 192.168.0.254)

6 Conclusion

In this lab, we successfully designed and implemented a subnetting scheme for the 192.168.0.0/24
network. We divided the network into four /26 subnets, configured the router, switches, and PCs with
appropriate IP addresses, and tested connectivity using the ping command. The results confirmed that
the network is functioning as expected, with all devices able to communicate within their respective
subnets. This lab provided valuable hands-on experience in subnetting and network configuration.

8 Lab Questions (reflective questions)

These questions are taken directly from the Lab 9 instructions:

1. How many host addresses are needed in the largest required subnet?
o The largest required subnet (LAN-A) needs at least 50 host addresses.
2. What is the minimum number of subnets required?
o The minimum number of subnets required is four (LAN-A, LAN-B, and two additional
subnets for future expansion).
3. What is the /24 subnet mask in binary?
o The /24 subnet mask in binary is 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000.
4. In the network mask, what do the ones represent?
o The ones in the network mask represent the network portion of the IP address.
5. In the network mask, what do the zeros represent?
o The zeros in the network mask represent the host portion of the IP address.
6. Which subnet mask meets both the required minimum number of hosts and the minimum
number of subnets required?
o A /26 subnet mask (255.255.255.192) meets the requirements, providing 62 host
addresses per subnet and four subnets in total.
7. Derive each of the subnets. List the subnets from first to last in the table.
o See the Calculations section for the derived subnets.
