Building a Network

Introduction A local company has hired you as a network administrator. Your first assignment is to setup the local network and make everything function correctly. You have decided to first build your simulated network using packet tracer and test the setup before modifying the live network.

Your task is the subnet the network, design the network within packet tracer, apply the needed addresses and then test connectivity by using the ping command

First Step Subnet your network using the information from the following page of information. Remember to make sure you have enough useable subnetworks

Premise A small company with three locations in different cities requires Wide Area Network connectivity The company requires at least: 6 Subnetworks The company has been given a Class C IP Address:

After subnetting Do The Following In PacketTracer Design your network with the routers, computers, switches and appropriate cables. Use the diagram on the next page to complete this task.

Network Schematic Switch

Remember To Do The Following! Assign Your 6 subnetworks (links between router to router will be a subnetwork, links between a router and a switch then out to the computers will also be a subnetwork. Assign appropriate IP addresses, subnet masks, network addresses(under RIP on the router) and turn needed ports on connecting the router interfaces you decide to use. Assign IP addresses to computers. Ensure that the ports used are turned on and active and the subnet mask is used. Set the Gateway address of each computer to the address of the fastethernet port being used to connect to the switch
