This is a practical IPv4 subnetting lab.
Now this is a practical lab helping you test and verify your knowledge of IPv4 subnetting. We’re not
simply going to talk about the theory of IPv4 subnetting. You need to subnet but in addition, configure
the network and get it working. You need to configure IP addresses on routers, on switches and on DHCP
servers. And then you need to configure the DHCP servers to allocate IP addresses to the clients in the
correct subnet.
So once again, this is a practical demonstration and lab of IPv4 subnetting.
In this packet tracer lab, we have a multiple sites, site 1 and site 2 connected via serial links to an
Internet router.
You need to configure the network as follows.
You’ve been allocated subnet [Link] /24 and you need to subnet this network into 4 subnets as
follows.
Subnet 1 needs to be allocated to site 1
Subnet 2 to the serial link between router 1 and the Internet router
Subnet 3 to site 2 and subnet 4 to the link between router 2 and the Internet router.
Now we are not going initially optimize the subnetting.
You’re only going to create 4 subnets and then split them across these 4 networks.
In the subsequent video will optimize the serial links to use a /30 mask and then make more subnets
available for additional sites. But in this initial topology, you simply need to create 4 subnets. You should
configure the routers per the instructions in the diagram. In other words, this interface on router 1
should use the last IP address in the relevant subnet. This interface should use the first IP address in the
subnet on the serial link. The Internet router is going to use the last IP address in both subnets on the
serial links and router 2 will once again use the last IP address in the subnet on the Ethernet interface
and to the first IP address on the serial interface.
You need to configure these switches with the second last IP address and the subnet and the DHCP
servers with the third or last IP address in the subnet.
So as an example, at site 1, the switch 1 should be configured with the second last IP address in the
subnet and the DHCP server with the third last IP address. The same should be done for switch 2 in site
2, and the third last IP address should be configured on the DHCP server at site 2.
You also need to configure the DHCP servers to allocate IP addresses to the clients in the relevant
subnets.
So as an example, DHCP server 1 should allocate IP addresses PC 0, PC 1 & PC 2 in the subnet allocated
to this network....
