CN Lab Assignment
1. Objective: Design and configure a subnetted network using packet tracer.
Task:
Given: Network address [Link]/24.
Subnet it to create 4 equal-sized subnets.
Use 3 routers and 4 switches, each subnet connecting to one LAN.
Assign IPs and configure interfaces manually.
Use ping to verify connectivity between PCs across subnets.
Evaluation Points:
Correct subnet calculation
Proper IP addressing and interface setup
Successful end-to-end ping
2. Objective: Configure static routing to enable communication across routers.
Task:
Use 3 routers (R1, R2, R3) connected in a line (R1–R2–R3).
Each router has one LAN connected.
Assign IP addresses to all interfaces.
Configure static routes so that all PCs can communicate.
Verify with ping from end PCs.
Evaluation Points:
Accurate static route entries
Functional routing table
Successful cross-router communication
3. Objective: Create VLANs and configure inter-VLAN routing using a Layer 3 switch.
Task:
Use 1 Layer 3 switch and 1 router.
Create 3 VLANs: Sales (VLAN10), HR (VLAN20), and IT (VLAN30).
Assign 2 PCs per VLAN.
Configure inter-VLAN routing using Router-on-a-Stick or Layer 3 SVI.
Verify that PCs in different VLANs can communicate.
Evaluation Points:
Correct VLAN creation and assignment
Proper trunking and subinterfaces
Inter-VLAN communication success
4. Objective: Configure standard and extended ACLs to restrict traffic.
Task:
Use 2 routers, 3 networks.
Allow only one subnet to access the server in another subnet.
Deny all other subnets using extended ACLs.
Place ACLs in the correct direction and interface.
Verify restrictions using ping and traceroute.
Evaluation Points:
Accurate ACL syntax and placement
Proper permit/deny logic
Functional security verification
5. Objective: Set up and verify a DHCP server on a router.
Task:
Use 1 router, 1 switch, and 4 PCs.
Configure the router to act as a DHCP server.
Exclude the first 10 addresses in the pool.
Verify that all PCs get IP addresses automatically.
Show IP configuration on all PCs and verify using ipconfig.
Evaluation Points:
Correct DHCP pool settings
Successful address allocation
No IP conflicts
